Answer: 5/6 of the pizza was eaten and 1/6 of the pizza is left.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 + 1/3 = the amount of pizza eaten
2 x 3 = 6.
Multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number. Since 2 multiplied by 3 makes the denominator 6, multiply the numerator (1) by 3. The fraction becomes 3/6.
Doing the same with the second fraction, you would multiply them by 2 to make the denominator for this fraction 6 as well. The fraction becomes 2/6.
You then add them to get the amount eaten, which is 5/6. Remember that you do not add the denominators; they are both six so they do not change.
You cannot simplify 5/6, so that is your answer.
The amount left is the remainder of one whole, so you subtract 5/6 from 6/6 which equals 1/6.
