Answer 1

To find the fraction of the pizza that Mitchell and Kevin ate, we need to add the fractions that Mitchell and Kevin each ate.

Mitchell ate the fraction 1/4 of the pizza.
Kevin ate the fraction 1/3 of the pizza.

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 3 is 12.

So, Mitchell ate (1/4) * (3/3) = 3/12 of the pizza.
Kevin ate (1/3) * (4/4) = 4/12 of the pizza.

Now we can add these fractions together:
Mitchell and Kevin ate (3/12) + (4/12) = 7/12 of the pizza.

Therefore, Mitchell and Kevin ate 7/12 of the pizza.
