Answer 1

We can solve this problem by using fractions.

Initially, Bishop ate 12 out of the whole sandwich. This can be represented as 12/12.

Then, after work, Bishop ate 23 out of what was left. Since Bishop ate 12 out of 12 initially, there were 12/12 - 12/12 = 0/12 left.

After Bishop ate 23 out of 0/12, the remaining fraction is still 0/12.

Therefore, Bishop did not eat any part of the sandwich after work. The answer is 0/12, which is equivalent to 0.
