3 pizzas - 1 5/12 pizza - 3/4 pizza = ? pizza

3            - 1 5/12           - 3/4          =

36/12     - 17/12            - 9/12

10/36                                              = 5/18 pizza left

D'Oh !   Sorry CoolBoy 21 ....I made an error in my last line!!!

 

36/12     - 17/12            - 9/12

10/12                                              = 5/6 pizza left

1+5/12=1 5/12

3-1 5/12=1 7/12

3/4x3=9/12

1 7/12-9/12= 8/12 of a pizza

Zerp gave you answer to this question:

The ate  1 5/12 pizza on Monday     and then they ate   3/4 of THREE PIZZAS on Tuesay

   but I THINK you meant they ate 3/4 of ONE pizza on Tuesday....maybe not.....
