ginny baked a delicious apple pie. john ate 1/4. then aldo ate 1/2 of what was left. how much pie was left over

1/2 = 2/4

1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4

4/4 - 3/4 = ?

To calculate how much pie was left over, we need to follow a step-by-step approach.

1. Start with the whole pie: 1
2. John ate 1/4 of the pie, which means there is 3/4 left.
3. Aldo ate 1/2 of what was left. To find out how much pie Aldo ate, multiply 3/4 by 1/2: (3/4) * (1/2) = 3/8
4. Subtract Aldo's portion from what was left: 3/4 - 3/8 = 6/8 - 3/8 = 3/8

Therefore, there are 3/8 of the pie left over.

To find out how much pie was left over, we'll need to follow the steps:

1. John ate 1/4 of the apple pie, which means 3/4 (1 - 1/4) of the pie remains.
2. Aldo then ate 1/2 of the remaining pie, so the amount of pie left becomes 1/2 * 3/4.
3. To find the result, multiply the fractions: 1/2 * 3/4 = 3/8.

Therefore, there was 3/8 of the apple pie left over.
