How many is some?
To figure it out:
8-x=_____
x=number of slices eaten
4 pizzas were each cut into 8 slices.Therefore there were 4*8 = 32 slices in all. 27 were eaten, which leaves 32 - 27 = 5 slices. These 5 slices made up 5/8 of one pizza.
Two thirds. Cut a pie into 3 slices. Take away 1 slice (one third). You are left with 2 slices (two thirds).
Numerator is the number in the top of a fraction. Denominator is the number in the bottom of a fraction. Any object or group that must be divided into parts is referred to as the 'whole'. The total number of equal parts being made is represented by the denominator. The number of these parts being discussed in a particular setting is the numerator. Example: Cut a pie into 5 equal slices. --- 5 is the denominator. If you eat one slice --- 1 is the numerator making the fraction 1/5 If I eat two slices (I like pie) --- 2 is the numerator making the fraction 2/5 Now if someone asks how much pie is left, there are 2 slices left, so the numerator is 2 making the fraction 2/5. Someone else asks how much was eaten, since 3 slices were eaten, 3/5 represents the part of the pie missing because it was eaten. Numerators can be larger than denominators, these are called improper fractions. Suppose we have two pies in the above example. Cut both into 5 equal parts. You eat one slice --- again 1/5 of a pie. I eat 2 slices --- again 2/5 of a pie. But we had 2 pies, so there are 7 slices left (5 from a whole pie and 2 from the pie we took slices from), this means 7/5 pie is left over.

obviously assuming they are equal slices... 12-8=4, 4/12=1/3 1/3 = 33.3%
This depends on whether you ate 1 slice, which would leave 3; 2 slices, which would leave 2, or 3 slices, leaving only 1.
One slice
I didn't eat a slice of pie, I ate a pie - so no slices are left.
Assume there were twelve slices. 1/4 is 3 slices, 1/3 is 4 slices. That would leave 5 slices.
No because to get one whole, you have to have four complete fourths; and scince 3/4 is not four complete wholes it is not one to make it one whole, add one more fourth to three fourths to get 4/4=1 whole. Note: you can make one whole out of any denominator, just have an equal numerator, it's like saying I have one pizza with five slices and none eaten which equals five slices of the five slices of pizza eaten which means you still have a WHOLE pizza left which equals 5/5 of pizza. Examples of a whole in fractions: 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, 4/4 extetera, extetera. So three fourths is not one because it is not the all of the slices left, some one ate one slice, talk about a waste of your pizza! :)
One sixth or 1/6...assuming the pizza was cut into 6 slices. If not, then the fraction left would be: (total # of slices cut - 5)/total # of slices cut
4 pizzas were each cut into 8 slices.Therefore there were 4*8 = 32 slices in all. 27 were eaten, which leaves 32 - 27 = 5 slices. These 5 slices made up 5/8 of one pizza.
If you take 8 and multiply by 3, the number of pizzas, you get the total number of slices, 24. Then divide this by 4 to get 6, and that's a fourth of the three pizzas. 6x3=18, and Bob's your uncle, there's 6 left and 18 eaten
If you leave a lemon slice on a kitchen platform for an extended time the lemon slice will dry out, darken in color, and become inedible. It is not recommended that lemon slices be left out for long periods of time.
Two thirds. Cut a pie into 3 slices. Take away 1 slice (one third). You are left with 2 slices (two thirds).
