Question

Angie and her friends are 3 4ths of a pizza. Her brother Joe ate 2 3rds of what was left. How much of the original pizza did Joe eat?

Answer 1

The brother ate 1/6

Explanation:

3/4 = 9/12

The whole pizza is 12/12

12/12 - 9/12 = 3/12

3/12 is what is left

The broter ate 2/3 of this leftover

3/12 = 1/12 +1/12 + 1/12

the brother ate 2/12 = 1/6
