Fratcion help

Post by mamaji »

Hi - can someone explain how to do this, please

Sam eat four-fifths of his pizza. If he had six slices left, how many had he first ?

Thanks so much

A really silly question! Someone looked at the numbers and not the context ...

But it was only 1 pizza, so they could have been very small slices!

(Sorry - in a silly mood at the moment.)
