Question

You told your friend that you could eat 5/8 of a large pizza. If you only ate 1/2 of what you said you could eat, what fraction of a large pizza did you eat?

Answer 1

Explanation:

5/6

Answer 2

5/16

Given that:

Fraction of claim = 5/8

Amount actually eaten = 1/2 of claim

Amount actually eaten = 1/2 * 5/8 = 5/16

Fraction of large pizza actually eaten is 5 /16

Hence, he ate, 5/16 of large pizza
