5/12 is left. Convert 1/4 and 1/3 to 3/12 and 4/12. Add them to make a sum if 7/12. 12-7=5 so 5/12 is left.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]pizza - \frac{1}{4} pizza - \frac{1}{3} pizza = \\ = pizza(1 - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3} ) = \\ = ( \frac{12 - 3 - 4}{12} )pizza = \\ = \frac{5}{12} pizza[/tex]

That's the fraction of pizza left for you to eat.
