Answer:
1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
ok so before i start i wanna say that this is gonna get confusing.....
Since the pizza is a whole quantity let us take it as 1.
Harry ate half of the pizza therefore the fraction that Harry ate = 1/2 of 1
= 1/2 × 1 = 1/2
Therefore fraction Harry ate = 1/2
Fraction of pizza left = 1 - 1/2 (LCM = 2)
= 1/2
Jacqueline ate 1/2 of what was left.
So, Fraction of pizza Jacqueline ate = 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4
Therefore fraction of pizza left after both Harry and Jacqueline ate =
1 - (1/2 +1/4) = 1 - 3/4 (LCM = 4) = 1/4
Therfore fraction of pizza left = 1/4
Stanley ate 1/2 of what was left.
So, fraction of pizza Stanley ate = 1/2 × 1/4 = 1/8
Therefore, fraction of pizza left after all three of them ate =
1 - (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8) = 1 - 7/8 (LCM = 8) = 1/8
I hope this helps .......i know this is rlly confusing but i dont know how else to put it : )
Have a nice day!
