Kim and José shared one whole pizza. Kim ate 4/6 of the pizza, and José ate 3/12 of the pizza. How much of the pizza was eaten?

Sagot :

[tex] \frac{4}{6} + \frac{3}{12} [/tex]
Getting the LCD, you'll have 12
[tex] \frac{4}{6} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{4(2)+3}{12} [/tex]
              = 11/12
Therefore 11/12 of the pizza was eaten.
Lowest Term:
4/6 = 2/3
3/12 = 1/4

[tex] \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{8-3}{12} or \frac{11}{12} [/tex]

Another method:

[tex] \frac{4}{6} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{11}{12} [/tex]

Hope it helps! :)
