Question

Paul's dad made a turkey pot pie for dinner on Wednesday the family ate 4/8 of the pie. on Thursday after school,Paul ate 2/16 of the pot for a snack what fraction of the pie remained

Answer 1

6/16 or 3/8 if simplified

Answer 2

You would add the 2 fractions. Since 2/16 equals 1/8 you could add 1/8 plus 4/8. That will give you 5/8. After all that you subtract 5/8 from 8/8, which will give you 3/8.
