Paul's dad made a turkey pot pie for dinner on Wednesday. The family ate 4/8 of the pie. On Thursday, Paul ate 2/16 of pie for a snack. What fraction of the pie remains?
Okay, so I added 4/8 and 2/16 and got 10/16. I would be able to complete the problem, but I don't know what fraction of the pie there was in the first place. Please help!
There was a whole pie to begin with.
16/16 - 10/16 = 6/16 = 3/8
Ok thank you!
You're very welcome.

To find out what fraction of the pie remains, we need to determine the initial fraction of the pie that was consumed.
The information given states that the family ate 4/8 of the pie on Wednesday and Paul ate 2/16 of the pie on Thursday.
To find the initial fraction of the pie, we can add the two fractions together.
To add fractions, we need to have the same denominator.
The denominators we have are 8 and 16. We can convert one of the fractions so that both fractions have a common denominator.
Since 8 can be multiplied by 2 to get 16, we can multiply 4/8 by 2/2:
(4/8) x (2/2) = 8/16
Now, we have the same denominator for both fractions, so we can add them together:
8/16 + 2/16 = 10/16
So, the total fraction of the pie consumed is 10/16.
Now, to determine the fraction of the pie that remains, we need to subtract the fraction consumed from 1 (since 1 represents the whole pie).
1 - 10/16 = 16/16 - 10/16 = 6/16
Therefore, 6/16 of the pie remains.
