Question

lyla made a pizza with 8 pieces. she put pepperoni on \\(\frac{5}{8}\\) of the pizza and ham on the rest of the pizza. what fraction of the pizza has ham? use the picture to help you solve the problem.

Explanation:

Step1: Define the whole pizza

The whole pizza is represented as 1 (or $\frac{8}{8}$ since it has 8 pieces).

Step2: Subtract the pepperoni fraction

To find the fraction with ham, subtract the fraction with pepperoni ($\frac{5}{8}$) from 1. So, $1 - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{8}{8} - \frac{5}{8}$.

Step3: Perform the subtraction

Subtract the numerators: $8 - 5 = 3$, so $\frac{8 - 5}{8} = \frac{3}{8}$.

Answer:

$\frac{3}{8}$
