8 slices of pizza, 3 friends eat slices 7 slices, 1 slice left. write an addition problem to show how much pizza each friend ate
2 1/3+ 2 1/3 + 2 1/3 =6 3/3
Good, but you can reduce 6 3/3 to 7.
To find out how much pizza each friend ate, we can subtract the number of slices left from the total number of slices and divide the result by the number of friends.
Let's break it down step by step:
1. Start with the total number of slices of pizza, which is 8.
2. Subtract the number of slices left, which is 1.
8 - 1 = 7
3. Divide the result by the number of friends, which is 3.
7 รท 3 = 2 remainder 1
Therefore, each friend ate 2 slices of pizza, with 1 slice left over.
In terms of an addition problem, we can express it as:
2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 7
Each friend ate 2 slices of pizza, and the remaining 1 slice completes the total of 7 slices eaten.
