Suzy gave 3 pieces of pizza to her brother out of a total of 6 pieces. The fraction representing the pizza she gave away is 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2 .

Jordan ate 3/9 and Sam ate 4/9 of the crackers. The total eaten is 7/9, leaving 2/9 of the crackers uneaten. This is found by subtracting the total eaten from the whole: 1 - 7/9 = 2/9 .

If jelly is spread on one slice of the sandwich and peanut butter on the other, the fraction of the sandwich with jelly is 1/2. This reflects the distribution of toppings relative to total slices used .

Gene ate 2/8 and Tommy ate 1/8 of the pizza. To evaluate the strategy, add the fractions with a like denominator: 2/8 + 1/8 = 3/8. This method of simply adding numerators under a common denominator ensures an accurate total .

To find out the fraction of celery sticks left for Carl, subtract the fraction Kiki ate from the whole. Carl can eat 1 - 1/6, which is 5/6 of the celery sticks .

Pam and her mom each pour 1/4 cup of sugar into the cake mix. To find the total sugar, add the fractions: 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4, which simplifies to 1/2 cup .

To determine the total fraction of crackers eaten by Jordan and Sam, add their fractional portions: 3/9 + 4/9 = 7/9. The reasoning involves maintaining the common denominator while summing numerators. The result, 7/9, represents the total consumed portion .

Chelsea ate 5 out of 8 pieces of the apple. The fraction representing the pieces she ate is 5/8, which is derived from the ratio of pieces eaten to total pieces .

Simplifying 3/6 to 1/2 clarifies that Suzy gave half of her pizza to her brother, making it easier to understand and compare in the context of quantities shared .

First, identify the number of pencils without erasers, which is 3. The total number of pencils is 8. The fraction is calculated by dividing the number without erasers by the total: 3/8. No simplification is needed, making 3/8 the correct fraction .
