Henry made himself a sandwich that was 11/12 of a foot long. He put pepperoni on 3/4 of his sandwich. What length of the sandwich did not have pepperoni on it?

Respuesta :


if 3/4 has pepperoni, 1/4 does not

11/12 * 1/4 = 11/48 of a foot

Answer:

[tex]\frac{11}{48}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been Henry made himself a sandwich that was 11/12 of a foot long. He put pepperoni on 3/4 of his sandwich.

The part of sandwich, which has no pepperoni would be:

[tex]1-\frac{3}{4}\Rightarrow\frac{4}{4}-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Now, we will find [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of [tex]\frac{11}{12}[/tex] as:

[tex]\frac{11}{12}\times \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{11\times 1}{12\times 4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{11}{48}[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]\frac{11}{48}[/tex]of the sandwich did not have pepperoni on it.
