Question

A pizza is into 4 equal parts.one part is eaten .what fraction of the pizza is left

Answer 1

Answer:

3/4 fraction of the pizza is left

Answer 2

Answer: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, Lets Imagine A big circular Pizza And you cut them out into 4 parts.

When you cut the pizza, You actually make 4 parts of 1 pizza.

So Mathematically, Each Part would be Represented by 1/4

∴ The Whole Pizza can be represented as:

1/4 + 1/4 +1/4 +1/4    -------(You cut the pizza into 4 parts and each part = 1/4)

= 4/4 ------- (Or 1)

Now, Further imagine that you ate one out of the 4 parts of the pizza.

So the Portion of Pizza you ate = 1/4

We are told to find out: What Fraction of Pizza is Left

Now we know that in total the pizza was 4/4 and you ate 1/4th part of the pizza.

So to know What fraction is left we subtract it.

=> 4/4 - 1/4

= 3/4
