Renee spent 1/8 of the day landscaping around the house. She spent 1/2 of that time pulling weeds. What fraction of the day did Renee spend pulling weeds.

she spent 1/16 of the day pulling the weeds you just multiply 1/8 by 1/2

The answer to this would be 1/16

In fractions, when trying to find a fraction of a fraction, you multiply your two fractions to get your answer.
In this case : 1/8 • 1/2 = 1/16
