Question

John decided to order one pizza. He ate $\frac{2}{3}$ of the pizza and he gave $\frac{1}{6}$ of it to his sister.

Find 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 eaten by John and his sister = $\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{6}$

= $\frac{4+1}{6}$

= $\frac{5}{6}$

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

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