Question

Billy ate 1 1/4 pizzas and john ate 1 2/3 pizzas. How much more pizza did john eat than billy?

Answer 1

`color(red)(=5/12`

Explanation:

According to question,

`5/3-5/4`

We need to equal the denominator to subtract numerators.

`(5xx4)/(3xx4)-(5xx3)/(4xx3)`

`=(20-15)/12`

`color(red)(=5/12`
