A pizza is divided into 12 equal slices. If 4 slices are eaten, what fraction of the pizza remains?
Explanation
Initially, the pizza is divided into 12 equal slices, and 4 slices are eaten, leaving:
12 - 4 = 8 slices
To find the fraction of the pizza that remains, divide the number of remaining slices by the total number of slices:
8 ÷ 12 = 2/3
So, 2/3 of the pizza remains.
