Question

Annabel and Eric made 17 ounces of pizza dough. They used 5/8 of the dough to make a pizza and used the rest to make calzones. What is the different between the amount of dough they used to make pizza and the rest to make calsones?? PLEASE HELP!!

Answer 1

According to question

Total Amount of Pizza dough made by Annabel and Eric = 17 Ounce
Given that

Dough used for making Pizza = 5/8 of total dough
                                                  = 5/8 of 17
                                                 = 85/8 Ounce
Thus
Dough used for making Calzones = 17 - 85/8
                                                      = 136 - 85 / 8
                                                      = 51/8 Ounce

Difference in Amount of Dough used for pizza and for Calzones = 85/8 - 51/8
                                                                                                      = 34 / 8
                                  

Answer 2

Solution :-

Pizza dough made by Annabel and Eric = 17 ounces

Used by them to make a pizza = 5/8th part 

Rest used by them to make calzones = 1/1 - 5/8

= (8 - 5)/8

= 3/8th part was used to make calzones

⇒ 5/8 of 17 ounce

= (5*17)/8

= 85/8

So, 85/8 was used to make pizza.

Used for making calzones = (3*17)/8

= 51/8 was used for making calzones

Difference between both = 85/8 - 51/8

= 34/8

= 17/4 or 4 1/4

So, 4 1/4 ounces of more dough was used for making pizza.
