Question 588648
Sam had 5 pizzas for a party. Each pizza has 8 slices. Susie ate 1/3 of one pizza, 
James ate 4/5 of one pizza, Mark ate 1/2 of one pizza, Lisa ate 1/4 of one pizza, and Larry ate 7/8 of one pizza.
 If Sam wanted a whole pizza for himself did he have enough left to eat that much?
 How much pizza is left? Explain in detail how you know.
:
Let's try to do this using the total pieces of pizza; 5 * 8 = 40
Each pizza is 1/5 of the total
:
S: {{{1/3}}} * {{{1/5}}} = {{{1/15}}} = .067
J: {{{4/5}}} * {{{1/5}}} = {{{4/25}}} = .160
M: {{{1/2}}} * {{{1/5}}} = {{{1/10}}} = .100
L: {{{1/4}}} * {{{1/5}}} = {{{1/20}}} = .050
L: {{{7/8}}} * {{{1/5}}} = {{{7/40}}} = .175
--------------------------------------------
 % of pizza eaten:.552
then 1.000 - .552 = .448 remains
.448 * 40 ~ 18 pieces left, well over 1 pizza which is 8 slices
