If your friend ate 1/5 of the pizza, there is 4/5 left.

If you ate 1/2 of 4/5, you ate 2/5, and you left 2/5. Remember that to find 1/2 of 4/5, multiply the fractions to get 4/10, which simplifies to 2/5.

Final answer: 2/5 of the pizza.

it would be 2/5 since 1/5 is subtracted from your friend, and you are eating half which would be 2/5 since you have 4/5 now and 2/5 = half of 4/5. (Fun Fact: I cant even eat half a pizza).
