To find the amount he ate we just add the fractions:

3/8 +1/2 = 7/8 or 0.875

HOPE THIS HELPS!

Answer:

7/8

Explanation:

The fraction of the pizza eaten is the result from the addition of the fractions he ate for lunch on both occasions.

Therefore, the fraction of pizza eaten by George

= 3/8 + 1/2

Lowest common multiple of the denominators is 8

=(3 + 4)/8

=7/8

George has eaten 7/8 of the pizza bought.
