Question

There is 1 1/2 of a pizza left. You get 2/3 of it. How much is your share?

Answer 1

let firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction, then get their product.

`\stackrel{mixed}{1(1)/(2)}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{3}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{3}{2}\cdot \cfrac{2}{3}\implies 1\qquad \textit{one whole pizza}`
