Mary Jane has 3/8 of a medium pizza left. hector has 2/8 of another medium pizza left how much pizza do they Have altogether? Use models to hlp

The 2 pizzas are the same size (medium), so we only need to add the fractions: 3/8 + 2/8 = (3+2) / 8 = 5/8, or, there is a total of 5/8 of a medium pizza remaining.

Let the total size of Pizza that they both have be given by P.

P = (size of Mary Jane left over) + (size of Hector leftover)

size of Mary Jane left over=3/8

size of Hector leftover=2/8

hence the total will be:

P=3/8+2/8

P = (3+2) / 8

P=5/8

therefore the fraction of remaining pizza that was left by both was 5/8
