Question

John decided to order one pizza. He ate 2/3 of the pizza and he gave 1/6 of it to his sister. How much pizza is left with John?

• A. 2/3
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/6
• D. 3/2

Answer 1

The correct option is C

1/6

Amount of pizza eaten by John = $\frac{2}{3}$

Amount of pizza given to his sister = $\frac{1}{6}$

So, total pizza ate by John and his sister = $\frac{2}{3}$ + $\frac{1}{6}$

= $\frac{12+3}{18}$

= $\frac{15}{18}$= $\frac{5}{6}$

Therefore, Amount of pizza left with john = 1 - $\frac{5}{6}$

= 1 - $\frac{5}{6}$= $\frac{1}{6}$
