Question

4 friends evenly divided up a n- slice pizza. One of the friends , Harris, ate 1 fewer slice than he received. How many slices of pizza did Harris eat?

Answer 1

4 friends evenly dividing up a n - slice pizza

So each one get $\frac{n}{4}$ slices of pizza.

 For example, if n = 12 slice then each friend gets 12/4 = 3 pieces.  If Harris ate one slice less then he ate  $\frac{12}{4}-1$=3 -1 =  2 pieces.

So the general expression for slices of pizza did Harris eat is

$\frac{n}{4}-1$
