Question

Jay found 1/3 of a sheet cake in the kitchen. He ate 1/2 of it.What fraction of the whole cake did he eat?

Answer 1

1/6

Explanation:

He ate 1/2 of 1/3 of the cake, so the fraction of the whole cake he ate is 1/2 x 1/3. Multiplying fractions is easy, simply multiply the numerator of each fraction (the numbers at the top of each fraction) and the denominator of each fraction (the numbers at the. bottom of each fraction). Therefore, 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6.

Answer 2

1/6

Explanation:

Multiply the fractions to find how much of the whole cake he ate.

1/3 * 1/2

1/6

Best of Luck!
