Question

Sameer ate ${\frac{12}{16}}^{th}$ part of the pizza. How much pizza did he leave?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{1}{4}$

The fraction of Pizza ate by Sameer $=\frac{12}{16}$
Dividing by the common factor 4, we get
$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{/}{}_{12}^3}{\text{/}{16}_4}$$=\frac{3}{4}$
$\therefore$ Fraction of Pizza leave by Sameer $=1-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{4-3}{4}$
$=\frac{1}{4}$
