jerome and tyler meet in the local pizza parlor after their saturday afternoon soccer game. Eash boy bought a separete pizza with an agreement to share with each other, both at the restraunt and in what they would each take home. jerome ate 1/4 of a pizza and Tyler at 2/3 of a pizza. How much pizza was left? How much did each boy take home after lunch?
.
The amount of pizza left is 1/12 of a pizza. Jerome took home 1/12 of a pizza and Tyler took home 2/3 of a pizza.
To find out how much pizza was left, we need to subtract the amount eaten by Jerome and Tyler from the total amount of pizza they had together.
To calculate the amount of pizza left, we need to add Jerome's share and Tyler's share:
1/4 + 2/3 = (3/12) + (8/12) = 11/12
So, there was 11/12 of the pizza left after they finished eating at the restaurant.
To find out how much each boy took home after lunch, we need to divide the remaining pizza equally between them.
To distribute the pizza equally, we need to divide 11/12 by 2 (since there are two boys):
(11/12) ÷ 2 = (11/12) × (1/2) = 11/24
Therefore, each boy took home 11/24 of the pizza after lunch.
To find out how much pizza was left, we need to subtract the amount each boy ate from the total amount of pizza.
Jerome ate 1/4 of a pizza, which means there is 1 - (1/4) = 3/4 of the pizza left.
Tyler ate 2/3 of a pizza, so there is (3/4) - (2/3) = (9/12) - (8/12) = 1/12 of the pizza left.
Therefore, there is 1/12 of the pizza left.
To find out how much each boy took home after lunch, we need to divide the remaining pizza equally between them.
Since there is 1/12 of the pizza left and there are two boys, each boy will take home (1/12) ÷ 2 = 1/24 of the pizza.
So, each boy will take home 1/24 of the pizza after lunch.
