Question

Michael bought 3/4 pound of sliced turkey. He ate 1/3 of the turkey. How much turkey did Michael eat?

A.
1/4 lb

B.
1/3 lb

C.
5/12 lb

D.
1/2 lb

Answer 1

For this case we have to, if Michael ate
`\frac {1} {3}`of the total turkey he bought, we have:

`\frac {1} {3} (\frac {3} {4}) = \frac {3} {12} = \frac {1} {4}`

So, we have Michael ate
`\frac {1} {4}`of a pound of turkey.

Answer:

Michael ate
`\frac {1} {4}`of a pound of turkey.
