Question

4 friends evenly divided up an n-slice pizza. one of the friends, harris, ate 1 fewer slice than he received. how many slices of pizza did harris eat? write your answer as an expression. slices of pizza

Explanation:

Step1: Find slices per friend

4 friends divide \( n \)-slice pizza. So each gets \( \frac{n}{4} \) slices.

Step2: Find Harris' eaten slices

Harris ate 1 less than he received. So subtract 1 from \( \frac{n}{4} \): \( \frac{n}{4}-1 \).

Answer:

\(\frac{n}{4} - 1\)
