Problem Solving 4. Tashia ate \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a pizza, and Jay ate \( \frac{3}{8} \) of the same pizza. What fraction of the pizza was eaten?

To find out how much pizza was eaten by Tashia and Jay together, you need to add their fractions. First, the fractions \( \frac{1}{3} \) and \( \frac{3}{8} \) need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3 and 8 is 24. So, convert \( \frac{1}{3} \) to \( \frac{8}{24} \) and \( \frac{3}{8} \) to \( \frac{9}{24} \). Now, add them together: \[ \frac{8}{24} + \frac{9}{24} = \frac{17}{24} \] Therefore, Tashia and Jay together ate \( \frac{17}{24} \) of the pizza!
