AT THANKSGIVING DINNER, EMMA'S FAMILY ATE 1/3 OF A PUMPKIN PIE. WHAT FRACTION OF THE PIE WAS LEFT OVER?
2/3 of the pie was left over. Her family must eat very little.
(3/3) - (1/3) = ?
2/3
2/3
2/3 was left
To find out what fraction of the pie was left over, you need to subtract the fraction of the pie that Emma's family ate from the total pie.
In this case, Emma's family ate 1/3 of the pie. To find out what fraction of the pie was left over, you need to subtract 1/3 from 1 (since 1 represents the whole pie).
The calculation is as follows:
1 - 1/3 = 3/3 - 1/3 = 2/3
Therefore, 2/3 of the pie was left over after Emma's family ate 1/3.
