Papa Johns makes 20 pizzas for a fundraiser.They sell 8 and 1/4 of the pizza the first hour and7 and 5/10 of the pizza the 2nd hour. How muchpizza do they still have left to sell?

Respuesta :

We have:

Total pizzas: 20

They sell: 8 and 1/4

7 and 5/10

Then, We add up what they sold in the first and second hour:

[tex]8\frac{1}{4}+7\frac{5}{10}=\frac{33}{4}+\frac{15}{2}[/tex]

Multiply and divide the second fraction by 2:

[tex]\frac{33}{4}+\frac{15}{2}\cdot\frac{2}{2}=\frac{33}{4}+\frac{30}{4}[/tex]

Then, Add the fractions:

[tex]\frac{33+30}{4}=\frac{63}{4}[/tex]

This is that they sell 63/4 pizzas. Therefore, they still have left to sell:

[tex]20-\frac{63}{4}=\frac{17}{4}=4\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Answer: they still have left to sell 4 and 1/4 pizzas
