Lucas ate a fraction of a pizza. Hugo ate 5/8 of the same pizza. Now there is 1/8 of the pizza left what fraction of pizza did Lucas eat?

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this equation we will need to use what we know in order to find the answer.

[tex]1=\frac{8}{8}[/tex]

[tex]H=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

[tex]R = \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

If Huge ate 5/8's of the pizza and 8/8's creates a whole pizza then the question is quite simple. There is only 1/8's remaining after the boys finish their meal but 5/8's of the pizza was already eaten by Hugo meaning Lucas has to eat 2/8's of the pizza in order for there to be only 1/8's of the pizza left which means 2/8's is your answer.

Hope this helps.
