Answer:
9 pizzas total were bought for a party. Maya ate 1/3 of a pizza. John ate 4/9 of the same pizza. How much pizza is left?
Answer: 74/9 or 8.2
Step-by-step explanation:
first add 4/9 and 1/3 since it's in parenthesis
4/9+1/3
they need to have the same denominator, use the LCM (which is 9)
multiply 1/3 by 3 to achieve the LCM
4/9+3/9
add together numerators
7/9
subtract 7/9 from 9
9/1-7/9
get 9 to achieve the LCM (which is 9 again)
multiply 9/1 by 9
81/9 minus 7/9= 74/9
