of the pizza sold at a pizzeria 1/2 were cheese 1/4 were sausage and 1/6 were pepperoni. what fraction more of the pizza were cheese than sausage and pepperoni.

6/12 - (3/12 + 2/12) = ?

1/12

To find the fraction more of the pizza that was cheese compared to sausage and pepperoni, we need to subtract the combined fraction of sausage and pepperoni from the fraction of cheese.

The fraction of pizza that was cheese is 1/2.
The fraction of pizza that was sausage and pepperoni is 1/4 + 1/6.

To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which is the least common multiple (LCM) of 2, 4, and 6.

The LCM of 2, 4, and 6 is 12.

Now, let's convert the fractions to have a denominator of 12:

1/2 = 6/12 (multiplying the numerator and denominator by 6)
1/4 = 3/12 (multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3)
1/6 = 2/12 (multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2)

Now, we can subtract the combined fraction from the fraction of cheese:

6/12 - (3/12 + 2/12)
= 6/12 - 5/12
= 1/12

Therefore, the fraction more of the pizza that was cheese compared to sausage and pepperoni is 1/12.

To find the fraction more of the pizza that were cheese than sausage and pepperoni, we can first determine the fraction for each type of pizza.

The fraction of pizza that were cheese is 1/2.

The fraction of pizza that were sausage is 1/4.

The fraction of pizza that were pepperoni is 1/6.

To find the fraction more of the pizza that were cheese than sausage and pepperoni, we subtract the combined fraction of sausage and pepperoni from the fraction of cheese:

Fraction more = Fraction of cheese - Fraction of sausage and pepperoni.

To find the combined fraction of sausage and pepperoni, we add the fractions:

Fraction of sausage and pepperoni = Fraction of sausage + Fraction of pepperoni.

Now, let's calculate the fractions:

Fraction of sausage and pepperoni = 1/4 + 1/6 = 3/12 + 2/12 = 5/12.

Fraction more = 1/2 - 5/12.

To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12.

Fraction more = (6/12) - (5/12) = 1/12.

Therefore, the fraction more of the pizza that were cheese than sausage and pepperoni is 1/12.
