It looks like you've uploaded a math worksheet with several activities related to
fractions, specifically
mixed numbers and
adding fractions with like denominators. Let's focus on the main visible problem:
"How Much Pizza?"

🔍 Problem: "How Much Pizza?"
Instructions:
*Look at the pizzas shown. How much pizza is left? Write your answers as mixed numbers.*
We see several whole pizzas and some partially eaten ones. Each pizza is divided into
8 equal slices (since they're split into 8 parts). We need to count how many full pizzas and how many leftover slices there are.
Let’s analyze each row:
---
#### 🍕 Row 1:
- First 3 pizzas:
All full → 3 whole pizzas
- Fourth pizza: Only
1 slice missing → So,
7/8 of a pizza
→ Total for Row 1:
3 + 7/8 = 3 7/8
---
#### 🍕 Row 2:
- First 2 pizzas:
Full → 2 whole pizzas
- Third pizza:
Missing 3 slices → So,
5 slices left → 5/8
→ Total for Row 2:
2 + 5/8 = 2 5/8
---
#### 🍕 Row 3:
- First 2 pizzas:
Full → 2 whole pizzas
- Third pizza:
Only 1 slice left → 1/8
→ Total for Row 3:
2 + 1/8 = 2 1/8
---
✔ Final Answer:
Add all the remaining pizza amounts together:
$$
3 \frac{7}{8} + 2 \frac{5}{8} + 2 \frac{1}{8}
$$
Now add them step by step.
#### Step 1: Add the whole numbers:
$$
3 + 2 + 2 = 7
$$
#### Step 2: Add the fractions:
$$
\frac{7}{8} + \frac{5}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{13}{8}
$$
But $\frac{13}{8}$ is an
improper fraction — convert it to a mixed number:
$$
\frac{13}{8} = 1 \frac{5}{8}
$$
#### Step 3: Add to the whole number total:
$$
7 + 1 \frac{5}{8} = 8 \frac{5}{8}
$$

✔ Final Answer: 8 5/8 pizzas are left.

💡 Explanation:
- We counted full pizzas and partial ones.
- All pizzas were divided into eighths, so we used eighths as our unit.
- Added whole numbers and fractions separately.
- Converted improper fractions when needed.
- Wrote the final answer as a
mixed number, as instructed.

📝 Bonus: Adding Mixed Numbers (as seen in another part of the image)
Example:
$$
3 \frac{3}{8} + 2 \frac{1}{8}
$$
Step-by-step:
- Add the fractions: $\frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$ (simplified)
- Add the whole numbers: $3 + 2 = 5$
- Final answer: $5 \frac{1}{2}$
But wait — in the image, it shows:
$$
3 \frac{3}{8} + 2 \frac{1}{8} = 5 \frac{4}{8} \rightarrow \text{then simplified to } 5 \frac{1}{2}
$$
So yes,
simplifying is required.

✔ Summary:
-
Total pizza left: $ \boxed{8 \frac{5}{8}} $
- Always write answers as
mixed numbers
- Simplify fractions when possible
- Use common denominators when adding
