Question

Is tonys addition correct or wrong and why? ​

Answer 1

Tony's addition is correct.

Explanation:

Tony needs to add 7 two times, since the customers ate 7 slices of out both pizzas. And, 7 + 7 is 14, and you need to also count the total slices of pizza, which is 16. So, the fraction would be 14/16, which can be simplified into 7/8, which is just 14/16 multiplied by 2.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Customers eat 7/8. Tony says it's 14/16

`(7)/(8) = (14)/(16)`

because 7 times 2 is 14 and 8 times 2 is 16, so he got to the correct conclusion

Tony says...

`(1)/(7) + (1)/(14) = (14)/(16)`

There's no way to get this answer because neither 7 or 14 goes evenly into 16.

Tony got the correct answer, but his addition is incorrect for that said reason
