To solve the problem, let's go step by step:
Step 1: Determine the total number of pieces
Frank had 2 pizzas, and each pizza was cut into 8 pieces. So, the total number of pieces from both pizzas is:
2 pizzas × 8 pieces/pizza = 16 pieces
Step 2: Analyze the first pizza
From the first pizza, Frank ate 2 pieces:
Total pieces in the first pizza = 8 pieces
Pieces eaten from the first pizza = 2 pieces
Pieces left in the first pizza = 8 - 2 = 6 pieces
The fraction of pieces left over from the first pizza is:
Fraction left from the first pizza = Pieces left / Total pieces
Fraction left = 6 / 8 = 3/4
Step 3: Analyze the second pizza
Now, let's look at the second pizza where Frank ate 3 pieces:
Total pieces in the second pizza = 8 pieces
Pieces eaten from the second pizza = 3 pieces
Pieces left in the second pizza = 8 - 3 = 5 pieces
The fraction of pieces left over from the second pizza is:
Fraction left from the second pizza = Pieces left / Total pieces
Fraction left = 5 / 8
Summary
So, the fractions of pizza pieces left are:
- First pizza: 3/4
- Second pizza: 5/8
That’s how we calculate the fraction of pizza pieces left after eating some slices!
