Question

Rahul gave 5/12 of his pizza to his wife, 1 /8 to his daughter and the remaining part to his son. What part of the pizza did his son receive?

Answer 1

Part of pizza given to wife=5/12

Part of pizza given to daughter=1/8

Part of pizza given to son= whole-(part given to wife+part given to daughter)

= 1-(5/12+1/8)

=1-13/24

=11/24

so Rahul gave 11/24 of his pizza to his son.

Answer 2

let total quantity of pizza be ' 1 '

part of pizza given to his wife = 5 / 12

part of pizza given to daughter = 1 / 8

total parts of pizza given to wife and his daughter

=5 /12 + 1 /8 = (10 + 3 ) / 24 = 13 / 24

remaining part

=1 - 13/24 = ( 24 -13 ) / 24

=11 / 24

therefore , his son recieve 11 / 24 part of pizza.
