The common denominator is 56.
4/7 = 32/56
3/8 = 21/56
32/56 + 21/56 = 53/56
To find out how much of the entire pizza Jaden and his friend ate, we need to add up the fractions that represent the portions they ate.
Jaden ate 4/7 of the pizza, and his friend ate 3/8 of the pizza.
To add these fractions together, we need to find a common denominator.
The least common multiple of 7 and 8 is 56.
Next, we need to convert the fractions so that they have the same denominator.
For the fraction 4/7, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by 8 to get
(4/7) x (8/8) = 32/56.
For the fraction 3/8, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by 7 to get
(3/8) x (7/7) = 21/56.
Now that the fractions have the same denominator, we can add them together.
32/56 + 21/56 = 53/56.
Therefore, Jaden and his friend ate a total of 53/56 of the entire pizza.
