To solve the problem, we need to determine how much pizza the Mendes family ate on Saturday, given that they had 49 pieces left from Friday and then ate 34 of what was left.
Let's break down the problem:
- The Mendes family had 49 pieces of pizza left on Saturday.
- They ate 34 pieces of the pizza they had left over.
Thus, the amount of pizza they ate on Saturday is simply given by the number 34.
Now let's evaluate the options:
A. (No equation provided to evaluate)
B. (No equation provided to evaluate)
C. \(49 \times 34\) – This does not represent the amount of pizza eaten. Instead, it would represent a multiplication of the two numbers, which is not related to the problem.
D. \(49 + 34\) – This would give a sum of the total pieces before and after eating, which is not needed since we are only asked for how much they ate on Saturday.
From the provided options to evaluate:
- The Mendes family ate 34 pieces of pizza on Saturday, but we don't have an option that represents the answer directly.
- Therefore, none of the provided equations/fractions correctly represent the solution to the problem.
If there had been an option stating simply "34" or expressing how much they ate directly, that would be the correct selection. However, as it stands, none of the equations given achieves that.
