Understanding Fractions of Pizza Left After Eating

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!
