Answer:

Dominic ate [tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex]  of the pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to convert the fractions so they all have the same denominator (bottom number in the fraction.) That will make it a lot easier to add and subtract with them.

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{6}[/tex]

So Shawn ate 1/6 of the pizza, and Ryan ate 3/6 of the pizza. To find what else makes up the whole pizza (what Dominic ate) we add 1/6 and 3/6, then subtract from the whole.

[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{3}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{6}{6}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex]

Therefore Dominic ate [tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex]  of the pizza.
