enzo and eric are a sharing a pie. if enzo eats 1/3 of the pie and eric eats 1/5 of the pie, is there more than 1/2 of the pie remaining.

1/3 + 1/5 =

once you get your answer. turn into decimals and compare with 0.50 since 1/2 is 0.50.

You have to add 1/3 and 1/5.

You need to get a common denominator of 15.

after you add the fractions, subtract from 1 for 1 whole pie. (You can write 1 as 15/15).

compare your answer with 1/2 to see if it is larger or smaller. (It is always good to be sure the denominators are the same which makes it easier to compare.

1/3 = 5/15

1/5 = 3/15

5/15 + 3/15 = 8/15 = 0.5333

They ate 0.533 of the pie.

compare and get your answer is which is yes there is more then one half because 0.533>0.50

There is less than half a pie remaining.

Reread the problem and your answer, minecraft.

i knew i was right at first

To determine if more than half of the pie is remaining, we need to calculate the combined portions eaten by Enzo and Eric and subtract it from the total pie.

First, we can calculate the sum of the portions eaten by Enzo and Eric by finding a common denominator for 1/3 and 1/5, which is 15.

Enzo's portion can be converted to 15ths by multiplying the numerator (1) and denominator (3) by 5, resulting in 5/15.
Eric's portion can be converted to 15ths by multiplying the numerator (1) and denominator (5) by 3, resulting in 3/15.

Now, we can find the total portions eaten by adding 5/15 and 3/15, resulting in 8/15.

If we subtract 8/15 (the sum of the portions eaten) from 1 (the whole pie), we can determine the remaining portion.

To subtract fractions, the denominators must be the same. The denominator is already 15, so we can write 1 as 15/15.

Performing the subtraction, 15/15 - 8/15 equals 7/15.

The remaining portion of the pie is 7/15.

Since 7/15 is less than 1/2 (which is equivalent to 7/14), there is indeed more than half of the pie remaining.
