The fraction of the pizza for veggie is 3/8
Further Explanation:
Total pizza that was ordered = 56 pizzas
Amount of pepperoni that were ordered = 2/7 of 56 pizzas
= 2/7 x 56
= 2 x 56 ÷ 7
= 112 ÷ 7
= 16 pepperoni pizzas
Amount of cheese that were ordered = 19 cheese pizzas
Therefore adding the amount of pepperoni plus the amount of cheese that were ordered =
Amount of pepperoni + Amount of cheese =
= 16 + 19
= 35
To derive the amount of the pizza for veggie, the total values derived from the addition of the amount of the pepperoni and cheese (which is 35) would be subtracted from the total pizzas that were ordered (which is 56.
= 56 – 35
= 21 pizzas
To derive the fraction of the pizza for veggie, the total amount of ordered veggie pizza will be divided by the total amount of pizzas ordered.
Total veggie pizzas ordered = 21
Total pizzas ordered = 56
Hence,
21/56; further broken down to 3/8
