3/8 were veggie because 2/7 is 16 and 16 + 19 is 35. 56-35 is 21. So the fraction is 21/56 but you can reduce it and the reduced form is 3/8

The fraction of the pizza for veggie is 3/8

Further Explanation:

Total pizza that was ordered = 56 pizzas

Amount of pepperoni that were ordered = 2/7 of 56 pizzas

  = 2/7 x 56

  = 2 x 56 ÷ 7

  = 112 ÷ 7

  = 16 pepperoni pizzas

Amount of cheese that were ordered = 19 cheese pizzas

Therefore adding the amount of pepperoni plus the amount of cheese that were ordered =

Amount of pepperoni + Amount of cheese =

   = 16 + 19

   = 35

To derive the amount of the pizza for veggie, the total values derived from the addition of the amount of the pepperoni and cheese (which is 35) would be subtracted from the total pizzas that were ordered (which is 56.

   = 56 – 35

   = 21 pizzas

To derive the fraction of the pizza for veggie, the total amount of ordered veggie pizza will be divided by the total amount of pizzas ordered.

Total veggie pizzas ordered = 21

Total pizzas ordered = 56

Hence,

21/56; further broken down to 3/8
