the maddox family took home 5/6 of a pizza from the restaurant where they dined. Thre next day, Mr. Maddox ate 1/3 of the leftover pizza. What fraction of a pizza did Mr. Maddox eat? How much pizza was remaining after Mr. Maddox ate some.
Multiply 1/3 by 2 to get 2/6 to make the denominator even and then do 5/6 - 2/6 it equals 3/6. When you multiply 1/3 by 2 do this 1/3 times 2/2.
\(5/6*6/5=1\)
\(1/3*6/5=6/15\)
Mr. Maddox ate 6/15 slices of a whole pizza.
\(5/6=45/90 \)
\(6/15=36/90\)
\(45/90-36/90=8/90\)
\(8/90=4/45\)
4/45 of a pizza was remaining after Mr. Maddox ate some.
I don't know if I am right lol.
(5/6) * (1/3) = 5 / 18 of the pizza is what he ate
Amount remaining =
5/6 - 5/18 =
15/18 - 5/18 =
10/18 =
5/9
