Please I need help with a fraction word problem. Peter and Eric bought a large pizza that has 12 slices. John and Eric ate all the pizza. If John ate 4/6 slices, how much did Eric eat? Who ate more pizza?

My answer is Eric ate 4/12 of the pizza and John ate more than Eric.
Am I correct?

Johnny eats 1/4 of a large 16 in pizza and Michael eats 1/3 of a medium 12 in pizza.Who ate more crust?

To find out how much Eric ate, we can subtract the portion John ate from the total number of slices.

John ate 4/6 slices of the pizza.

To determine the number of slices Eric ate, we need to calculate the remaining slices after John ate. To find the number of slices Eric ate, we need to subtract 4/6 from the total number of slices, which is 12:

12 - 4/6 = 12 - 2/3

To subtract fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common denominator (LCD) is 6, so we need to convert 12 to a fraction with a denominator of 6:

12/1 * 6/6 = 72/6

Now we can subtract the fractions:

72/6 - 2/3

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the least common denominator (LCD) is 6, so we need to convert 2/3 to a fraction with a denominator of 6:

2/3 * 2/2 = 4/6

Now we can subtract the fractions:

72/6 - 4/6 = (72 - 4)/6 = 68/6

So Eric ate 68/6 slices of the pizza.

To determine who ate more pizza, we can compare the fractions: 4/6 (John) and 68/6 (Eric).

Since 68/6 is a larger fraction than 4/6, Eric ate more pizza than John.

To solve this problem, you need to find out how many slices Eric ate and compare it to John's portion.

Given that John ate 4/6 of the pizza, we can assume that the remaining 2/6 of the pizza was eaten by Eric.

To find out the actual number of slices Eric ate, you need to multiply the fraction 2/6 by the total number of slices in the pizza, which is 12.

To do this, calculate: (2/6) * 12 = (2 * 12) / 6 = 24/6 = 4.

Therefore, Eric ate 4 slices of the pizza.

Comparing this to John's portion of 4/6 slices, we see that Eric ate less than John.

So, your answer is partially correct. Eric ate 4 slices (4/12 of the pizza), and John ate more pizza than Eric.

Right.
