Final answer:

Carmela has eaten half of the pie in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carmela ate two-sixths of the pie for snacks and one-sixth of the pie for a bedtime snack.

To find out how much of the pie she has eaten in total, we need to add the two fractions together.

2/6 + 1/6 = (2 + 1)/6 = 3/6

However, we can simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3 in this case.

3/6 simplifies to 1/2, which means Carmela has eaten half of the pie in total.
