Question

5. On Friday night, Samantha ate a pizza for dinner and had 1/2 of the pizza left over. On Saturday, she ate 2/3 of what was left. How much of the pizza did

Samantha eat on Saturday?

Answer 1

∴ Samantha ate
`(1)/(3)` of the pizza on Saturday.

Explanation:

Fraction of pizza left on Friday =
`1-(1)/(2)`

=
`(1)/(2)`

∴ Fraction of pizza eaten on Saturday =
`(2)/(3)` ×
`(1)/(2)`

=
`(1)/(3)`
