Problem 1:

Peter bought 8 hamburgers for his party. At the end of the party, 3 hamburgers were left. What fraction of the hamburgers were eaten?

Step 1: Find how many hamburgers were eaten.
Total hamburgers = 8
Hamburgers left = 3
Hamburgers eaten = 8 - 3 = 5

Step 2: Write the fraction of hamburgers eaten.
Fraction eaten = (Number eaten) / (Total) = 5/8

✔ Answer: 5/8 of the hamburgers were eaten.

Problem 2:

Cameron ate 3 slices of pizza. Samantha ate 2 slices of pizza. There are 8 slices in a pizza pie. What fraction of the pizza did Samantha eat? What fraction remains?

Part A: Fraction Samantha ate
Samantha ate 2 slices out of 8.
So, fraction = 2/8 = 1/4 (simplified)

Part B: Fraction that remains
Total eaten = Cameron + Samantha = 3 + 2 = 5 slices
Remaining slices = 8 - 5 = 3
Fraction remaining = 3/8

✔ Answers:
- Samantha ate 1/4 of the pizza.
- 3/8 of the pizza remains.

Step 2: Subtract from total to find what's left.
$24 - $6 = $18

✔ Answer: Jeanne has $18 left.

Problem 4:

Mrs. Toomer brought 40 cookies to school. Mrs. Toomer’s class ate ½ of the cookies and Mrs. Smith’s class ate ¼ of the cookies. How many cookies are left?

Step 1: Find how many cookies each class ate.
- Mrs. Toomer’s class: ½ of 40 = (1/2) × 40 = 20 cookies
- Mrs. Smith’s class: ¼ of 40 = (1/4) × 40 = 10 cookies

Step 2: Total eaten = 20 + 10 = 30 cookies

Step 3: Cookies left = 40 - 30 = 10

✔ Answer: 10 cookies are left.
