Gina ate 1/6 of an apple pie.Greg ate 1/2 of the same pie.How much of the apple pie was left?
(6/6) - (1/6) - (3/6) = ?
2/6 cuz 6/6-1/6-3/6-2/6
To find out how much of the apple pie was left, we need to subtract the portions Gina and Greg ate from the whole pie.
The fraction Gina ate is 1/6, and the fraction Greg ate is 1/2.
To combine the fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 6 and 2 is 6.
So, let's convert the fractions to have a denominator of 6:
Gina's portion = 1/6 * 2/2 = 2/12
Greg's portion = 1/2 * 6/6 = 6/12
Now, let's subtract the portions from the whole pie:
Whole pie = 12/12
Gina's portion = 2/12
Greg's portion = 6/12
So, the amount of pie left is:
12/12 - 2/12 - 6/12 = (12 - 2 - 6)/12 = 4/12
Therefore, 4/12 of the apple pie is left.
To find out how much of the apple pie was left after Gina and Greg ate a portion each, we need to subtract their individual shares from the original whole pie.
Gina ate 1/6 of the pie, which means there are 6 equal parts in the whole pie and Gina ate 1 part.
Greg ate 1/2 of the pie, so there are 2 equal parts in the whole pie and Greg ate 2 parts.
To find the remaining pie, we need to subtract the total parts Gina and Greg ate from the total number of parts in the whole pie.
Total parts in the whole pie = 6 parts (from Gina) + 2 parts (from Greg) = 8 parts.
To find the remaining parts, we subtract 8 from the total number of parts in the whole pie:
Total parts in the whole pie - Total parts Gina and Greg ate = 8 parts - 3 parts = 5 parts.
Therefore, after Gina and Greg ate their portions of the apple pie, there are 5 parts (out of the original 6 parts) remaining.
