Question

Manu, Ted and Zoya bought 2 similar pizzas, each divided into 4 equal parts. Manu ate $\frac{2}{4}$ of the first pizza and Ted and Zoya ate $\frac{1}{4}$ of the other pizza each. How much remaining pizza was left?

• A. 1
• B. $1\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{3}{4}$
• D. $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

1

Number of pizzas = 2

Fraction of 1st pizza Manu ate $=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$ ( when simlipified)

Fraction of the 2nd pizza, Ted and Zoya ate= $\frac{1}{4}$ each

$\Rightarrow$ fraction of 2nd pizza eaten by Ted and Zoya $=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\therefore$ total fraction of pizza eaten $=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=1$

$\Rightarrow$ Fraction of pizza left $=2-1=1$ whole ( 2 pieces each from the 2 pizzas)
