Question

Henry made himself a sandwich that was 11/12 of a foot long. He put pepperoni on 3/4 of his sandwich. What length of the sandwich did not have pepperoni on it?

Answer 1

if 3/4 has pepperoni, 1/4 does not

11/12 * 1/4 = 11/48 of a foot

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{11}{48}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been Henry made himself a sandwich that was 11/12 of a foot long. He put pepperoni on 3/4 of his sandwich.

The part of sandwich, which has no pepperoni would be:

$1-\frac{3}{4}\Rightarrow\frac{4}{4}-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$

Now, we will find $\frac{1}{4}$ of $\frac{11}{12}$ as:

$\frac{11}{12}\times \frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{11\times 1}{12\times 4}$

$\frac{11}{48}$

Therefore, $\frac{11}{48}$of the sandwich did not have pepperoni on it.
