Question

Cableb made a pizza and cut it into 16 pieces. Caleb ate 1/4 of the pizza and his friend ate 1/2 of the pizza l. How many pieces are left.

Answer 1

Answer:

4 slices, 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to figure out how much each fraction is relative to 16, so we divide

Divide:

16/4=4

16/2=8

Now we add these two together so we can subtract them

Addition:

4+8=12

Subtraction:

16-12= 4

Another easy way to do this is by converting 1/2 to 2/4, add them to get 3/4, discovering 1/4 is left, solve for 1/4 then you get four

I hope this helps u, pls give a brainliest and a thx ;)

Answer 2

Answer:

There are 4 pieces left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the common denominator which is 16.

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8}{16} \\\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4}{16}$

Now subtract:

$\frac{16}{16}-\frac{4}{16}-\frac{8}{16}=\frac{4}{16} or\frac{1}{4}$
