Assuming that there was no one else to eat the pizza at that party--
11/8 (the pizza left over) + 2 1/2 (the pizza eaten)
11/8+ 20/8=31/8 pizzas
3 7/8 pizzas
11/8 (the pizza left over) + 2 1/2 (the pizza eaten)
11/8+ 20/8=31/8 pizzas
3 7/8 pizzas
Answer:
[tex]3\frac{5}{8}[/tex] pizzas were there at the start of the party.
Step-by-step explanation:
At the party let number of pizzas were = x
Aisha and her friends ate [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pizzas after which [tex]1\frac{1}{8}[/tex] pizzas were left.
Therefore the equation formed will be
[tex]x-2\frac{1}{2}=1\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
x - (5/2) = 9/8
x = 9/8 + 5/2
x = 29/8 = [tex]3\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Therefore [tex]3\frac{5}{8}[/tex] pizzas were there at the start of the party.
