Answer 2

The expression is- [(n/4)-1]

GIVEN

4 friends evenly divided up an n-slice pizza. One of the friends, Harris, ate 1 fewer slice than he received.

TO FIND

Expression of slices of pizzas eaten by Harris.

SOLUTION

We can simply solve the above problem as follows.

It is given,

Slices of pizza = n

Number of friends = 4

Slices of pizza evenly divided among friends= Total number of slices/number of friends.

= n/4

Now, this value represents number of slices each friend got.

It is given that, Harris had 1 slice less than what he received.

Number of slices of pizza eaten by Harris = [(n/4) -1]

Hence, The expression is- [(n/4)-1]
