Question

A big pizza was ordered for a birthday party. Taruna ate 1/2 of the pizza, Rohan
ate 1/4 and Prakash ate 1/5 of it. What fraction of the pizza was eaten and what
fraction was left to be finished?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5}$
• $= \frac{6}{8} + \frac{1}{5}$
• $= \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{5}$
• $= \frac{19}{20}$
• $left \: to \: eat \: = 1 - \frac{19}{20}$
• $= \frac{20}{20} - \frac{19}{20}$
• $= \frac{1}{20}$
