Answer:

(n/4 - 1) slices

Step-by-step explanation:

The pizza would be divided into n slices, which in turn would be split among 4 people:

       

   n slices

----------------- = (n/4) slices per person

  4 people          

Harris must have eaten (n/4 - 1) slices.

Answer:

\frac{n}{4}-1

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a pizza that has n slices and we want to split it between 4 friends, then each friend will get \frac{n}{4} slices.

Now, Harris is one of those friends so he receives  \frac{n}{4}  slices, but he eats one less than he receives. Therefore, we subtract one from this expression to get our final answer of \frac{n}{4}-1.

Hope this helped!

Se any model you choose to solve the story problem.
galina1969 [7]

As the question stands, none of the choices is a correct answer.

In the question, I'm pretty sure there's supposed to be something in
the space between the words "worker took ... of the bags".

If  "one eighth"  or  " 1/8 ", is stuffed into that space, then each pile
contains  (1/4 of 1/8) of the entire load.  That's  1/32  of it.
