A pizza is cut into 8 equal parts. If John eats 3/8 of the pizza and Jane eats 1/4 of the pizza, what fraction of the pizza is left?

  • A.1/2
  • B.3/8
  • C.1/8
  • D.5/8

Answer: B

First, find the total fraction of the pizza eaten.

Jane eats 1/4, which is equivalent to 2/8.

Total eaten = Fraction John ate + Fraction Jane ate = \(3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8\).

The whole pizza is 1, or 8/8.

Fraction left = \(8/8 - 5/8 = 3/8\).
