Melina and her friends eat pizza at the amusement park. In the afternoon, they eat 3/8 of a pizza. Later, they eat another 2/8 of the pizza. How much pizza is left? Explain your answer.

Adam can collect 11 prizes. I know this because 58+12=70 tokens in all. Then, I divided 70 by 6 and got 11 R4. He can't get a prize with his leftover 4 tokens, so I ignored the remainder.
Avery P. has $100 to spend on Sharks apparel. She buys 3 shirts for $18 each and 2 hats for $12 each. Will she have enough money left to buy a $25 backpack? Explain your answer.
No
I know this because 3×18=54, so she spent $54 on shirts. She spends $24 on hats because 2×12=24. Altogether, Avery spends $78 because 54+24=78. Then I subtracted 100−78=22. She only has $22 left, which is less than $25.
Quinn's soccer team played 2 games. Each game lasted 40 minutes. In the first game, Quinn played for 3/4 of the game. In the second game, she played for 2/4 of the game. How many combined minutes did she play? Explain your answer.
Quinn played 50 minutes. I know this because 40 x 3/4 = 120/4, which is 30 minutes. Also, 40 x 2/4 = 80/4, which is 20 minutes. 30+20=50.
