On Friday night, John ate pizza for dinner and had 1/2 of the pizza left over. On Saturday, he ate 1/8 of what was left. How much pizza did John have left over?
Please Help! (Also please write the equation to solve the problem.) Thanks!



Answer :

You have to get change 1/2 into a fraction with a common denominator. 1/2 turns into 4/8. Now you have to do 4/8 - 1/8 which is now 3/8
1/2 is left then ate 1/8 of it...
subtract
1/2 - 1/8
find the least common denominator
4/8 - 1/8 =3/8

3/8 of the pizza was left over
