You have 2 and 1/2 pizzas and your friend has 5/6 of a pizza.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 3 1/4 pizzas. If you get rid of 3/4 of a pizza, you will end up with 2 2/4 pizzas.
To make it easier, you can just change the values into improper fractions: 3 1/4 = 13/4
13/4 - 3/4 = 10/4
10/4 = 2 2/4 pizzas
(2 2/4 = 2 1/2)
Anyways! You now have 2 and a half pizzas. You have 3 times the amount of pizza that your friend has. In other words, your friend has 1/3 the amount of pizza that you have. You can solve for this in two ways, whichever way you solve it is up to you.
