If you eat one quarter of a pizza and your dog eats one eighth of it, what percent is left over?

 The answer is:  62.5 % (left over).

Step-by-step explanation:

______________________________________________

  ;  

Change "(1/4)" to: "(?/8)" ;

What is "(?)" ?  ;

→  (1/4) = (?/8) ;

notice the denominators;

(1/4) = (?/8) ;  In the first fraction, how does the "denominator", "4" ;  turn to "8" ?   Specifically, since we dealing with "fractions", what number do we multiply "4" by, to get:  "8" ??? ;

→  " 4  * ? = 8 " ?? ;

→  " 8 ÷ 4 = ? " ;

               = 2 ;

______________________________________________

so  " 1/4 = ?/8 " ;

Since we multiply the denominator, "4" ;  by "2" , to get:  

                     "8" (the denominator in the other fraction);  

we multiply the numerator, "1" ; by "2" ; to get:

                     "2" (the denominator in the other fraction):

   →  " ;

Now, the amount of the pizza that "you" ate is:  "(2/8)" ;

The amount of the pizza eaten by "your dog" is: "(1/8)" ;

Let's add up the amount of pizza eaten:

.

The total amount of the pizza would be:  " " .

Note:  " = 8 ÷ 8 = 1 whole [pizza].

To find the amount left over,  subtract the amount eaten; "(3/8)" ; from the whole pizza; "(8/8)" ; as follows:

   →   .

Now, the question asks, what percent is left over? ;

So, we convert "(5/8)" into a percentage;

Change "(5/8)" to: "(?/100)" ;

  →  Notice the denominators;

(5/8) = (?/100) ;  In the first fraction, how does the "denominator", "8" ;  turn to "100" ?   Specifically, since we dealing with "fractions", what number do we multiply "8" by, to get:  "100" ??? ;

→  " 8  * ? = 100 " ?? ;

→  " 100 ÷ 8 = ? " ;

                  = 12.5 ;

______________________________________________

so  " 5/8 = ?/100 " ;

Since we multiply the denominator, "8" ;  by "12.5" , to get:  

                     "100" (the denominator in the other fraction);  

we multiply the numerator, "5" ; by "12.5" ; to get:

                     "2" (the denominator in the other fraction):

   →  " ;

   →  [tex]\frac{62.5}{100} = 62.5 % .
