Five friends each ate 2/12 of a pizza .What fraction of the pizza Is left?
The pizza is 12/12, meaning it has 12 total slices.
If 5 people each had 2 slices (this is what 2/12 means) then:
5* (2/12)= 0.83= 10/12
10/12 is how much pizza was eaten.
To figure out how much is left, subtract how much was eaten from the total.
(12/12)- (10/12)= 2/12
To find out what fraction of the pizza is left after each friend ate 2/12 of it, we first need to determine how much of the pizza they all ate combined.
Since there are five friends, and each friend ate 2/12 of the pizza, we can multiply the fraction by the number of friends:
2/12 * 5 = 10/12
Therefore, the five friends ate a total of 10/12 of the pizza.
Now, to find out what fraction of the pizza is left, we need to subtract the amount they ate from the whole pizza, which is 1/1 or simply 1.
1 - 10/12 = 12/12 - 10/12 = 2/12
Hence, there is 2/12 of the pizza left.
