Question

If there is 1/4 of a pie and Amy only wants 2/3 of it, how much pie does she want?

Answer 1

1/4(2/3)
(1 × 2) / (4 × 3)
2/12
1/6 of the pie

Answer 2

`(1)/(6)` of pie

Explanation:

Amount of pie=
`(1)/(4)` of pie

Amy wants a portion of pie=
`(2)/(3)` of pie

We have to find the portion of pie wanted by Amy

Hence, portion of pie wanted by Amy=
`(1)/(4)` ×
`(2)/(3)`

Portion of pie wanted by Amy=
`(2)/(12)`

Portion of pie wanted by Amy=
`(1)/(6)`

Hence, the correct answer is
`(1)/(6)` of pie
