Answer 1

Complete Question:

4 friends evenly divided up a n-slice pizza. One of the friends,Harris, ate 1 fewer slice than he received. How many slices of pizza did Harrison eat?

Answer:

Harrison ate $\frac{n}{4}-1$ slices of pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data, 4 friends evenly divided up a ‘n’ slice pizza.

Thereby, the number of slices that each friend get =  $\frac{n}{4}$

Now, given Harrison ate 1 fewer slice than he received. As he received  $\frac{n}{4}$ slices, so 1 fewer than $\frac{n}{4}$ means $\frac{n}{4}-1$

Thus, Harrison ate $\frac{n}{4}-1$ slices of pizza.
