2/3 + 1/12=9/12+1/12=9/12 eaten. How much is left?

A pizza means 1.

Pepper ate 2/3 which means 1- 2/3= 3/3 - 2/3= 1/3 left.
Then Chee ate 1/12 of the pizza left, which means 1/3 - 1/12= 4/12 - 1/12= 3/12=1/4

To find out what fraction of the pizza is left, subtract the fractions of the pizza that Pepper and Chee ate from the whole pizza.

First, let's convert the fractions to a common denominator. The common denominator for 3 and 12 is 12.

Pepper ate 2/3 of the pizza, which is equivalent to (2/3) * (4/4) = 8/12.
Chee ate 1/12 of the pizza, which is equivalent to 1/12.

Now, subtract the fractions that Pepper and Chee ate from 12/12 (the whole pizza):

12/12 - (8/12 + 1/12) = 12/12 - 9/12

To subtract fractions with the same denominator, you subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same:

12/12 - 9/12 = (12 - 9)/12 = 3/12

Therefore, there is 3/12 of the pizza left, which can be simplified to 1/4.

So, 1/4 of the pizza is left.
