Justin and Dan ordered a pizza Justin ate 1/4 and ate 3/8 of the pizza what fraction of the pizza is left please show how you got the answer

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Display your knowledge to the problem

You know that a whole pizza must be 8/8 slices, right? And you know that Justin ate 1/4 of the pizza and Dan ate 3/8. Good, that's all you need to know so far.

2. Add 1/4 and 3/8

You have to figure out how much they ate all together. First, find a common denominator. Let's do... hmmm, 8 is perfect! 3/8 is already in its simplest form but what about 1/4? Well, 1/4 is 2/8 in simplest form. There we go! And 3/8 plus 2/8 is 5/8!

3. What's left of the pizza?

Well, we have 5/8 eaten and in whole, there's 8 slices, so that must mean 3 slices are still there and haven't been eaten yet! 3 slices = 3/8

Hope that helps!
