Sam ate 1/4 of the pizza. If the pizza has 8 slices, how many slices are left?
8 - 1/4
8/1 - 1/4
8*4/1*4 - 1/4
32/4 - 1/4
31/4
Answer: 7 3/4
Sam ate 1/4 of 8 is 1/4 x 8 = 2 slices
There are 6 slices left.
For the ribbon problem
98 - 12(5) = length of ribbon.
Well, if Sam is like me, he probably found a way to eat multiple slices in one bite! But in this case, if Sam only ate 1/4 of the pizza, that means he ate 2 slices. So, if the pizza originally had 8 slices, there will be 6 slices left. But watch out, those slices might still be in danger of being devoured by hungry humans or pizza-loving robots!
To find out how many slices are left after Sam ate 1/4 of the pizza, you can subtract the number of slices Sam ate from the total number of slices.
1/4 of the pizza is equivalent to (1/4) * 8 slices, which is equal to 2 slices.
To find the number of slices left, subtract 2 from the total number of slices:
8 slices - 2 slices = 6 slices
Therefore, there are 6 slices left.
