Can you please check my answers?
Wally ordered a pizza. He ordered 4/9 of the pizza with sausage, 1/5 of the pizza with extra cheese, and the rest of the pizza with bell peppers. How much of the pizza had bell peppers on it?
My answer: 29/45 of a pizza
nope, that is without peppers (4/9+1/5)
you want the remaining: (45-29)/45
16/45?
To check your answer, we need to add up the fractions that Wally ordered.
Wally ordered 4/9 of the pizza with sausage and 1/5 of the pizza with extra cheese. To find the total amount of pizza Wally ordered, we need to find the common denominator for 9 and 5, which is 45.
So, 4/9 can be written as 20/45 (multiply the numerator and denominator by 5) and 1/5 can be written as 9/45 (multiply the numerator and denominator by 9).
Now we can add up the fractions:
20/45 + 9/45 = 29/45
Therefore, your answer of 29/45 of the pizza with bell peppers is correct. Good job!
