After a party, ⅝ of a pizza was left over. For dinner, Olivia ate ⅜ of the pizza. What fraction of the pizza is left after Olivia ate dinner?
she ate 3/8 of the WHOLE pizza or 3/8 of the REMAINING pizza?
if the latter then
she had 5/8 P after party
she ate 3/8 * 5/8 P =15/64 P eaten
so (1 - 15/64) P is left = 49/64 P
You forgot the 3/8 eaten during the party.
1 - 3/8 - 15/64 = 39/64
so, 25/64 was left
After a party, 5/8 of a pizza was left over.
For dinner, Olivia ate 3/8 of the pizza.
What fraction of the pizza is left after Olivia ate dinner?
5/8 of the pizza was left over, Olivia ate 3/8 of the pizza. So only 2/8 of the pizza left.
After dinner, 5/8 pieces of the pizza is left over. That night, your sister eats 2/8 of the pizza. How much is left over after that?
To find out what fraction of the pizza is left after Olivia ate dinner, we need to subtract the fraction of the pizza she ate from the fraction that was left over.
Let's start with the fraction that was left over after the party, which is ⅝ of the pizza.
Next, we need to find the fraction of the pizza Olivia ate for dinner, which is ⅜ of the pizza.
To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the denominators are already the same, which is 8.
So, the fraction of the pizza left after Olivia ate dinner can be calculated by subtracting ⅜ from ⅝:
⅝ - ⅜ = (5/8) - (3/8) = 2/8
However, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2:
2/8 ÷ 2/8 = (2 ÷ 2) / (8 ÷ 2) = 1/4
Therefore, after Olivia ate dinner, 1/4 of the pizza is left.
