Nicole bought a pizza from Hot bite divided it in 12 pieces . She gave a quater of the pizza to Jimmy and she ate 1/6 . What fraction was left?

Answer 1

If the pizza divided it in 12 pieces then:

1 quarter of the pizza = 1 / 4 ∙ 12 = 3 pieces

1 / 6 of the pizza = 1 / 6 ∙ 12 = 2 pieces

Jimmy and Nicole ate together 3 pieces + 2 pieces = 5 pieces

12 pieces - 5 pieces= 7 pieces

7 / 12 was left
