Bill and Antonio shared a large pizza for lunch. Bill ate 1/4 of it and Antonia 5/12 of it. How much did they have left?
5/12= 5/12
1/4 3/12
=2/12=1/6 is this right
No.
12/12 - (3/12 + 5/12) =
12/12 - 8/12 = ?

How did you get 1/3
What part of my post don't you understand?
How you got 1/3
There is no actual 1/3 in my explanation.
To find out how much pizza is left, you need to subtract the amount Bill and Antonio ate from the total amount of pizza.
First, let's add up the fractions to find the total amount they ate:
Bill ate 1/4 of the pizza, and Antonio ate 5/12 of the pizza. To add fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12. So, we can rewrite the fractions with 12 as the denominator.
Bill = 1/4 = 3/12 (multiplying numerator and denominator by 3)
Antonio = 5/12 (already in the correct form)
Now, let's add the fractions:
3/12 + 5/12 = 8/12
So, together, Bill and Antonio ate 8/12 of the pizza.
To find out how much is left, subtract the fraction they ate from the whole pizza:
1 - 8/12 = 12/12 - 8/12 = 4/12 = 1/3
Therefore, there is 1/3 of the pizza left after Bill and Antonio ate their portions.
