Answer 1

after Zeke is done there is less than half of a pizza

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

Zeke found that 3 fifths of a pizza left when he got home from school

let

total pizza=1

so,

`\begin{gathered} \text{ pizza = }(3)/(5)of1\text{ = }(3)/(5)\cdot1=(3)/(5) \\ \text{ pizza =}(3)/(5) \end{gathered}`

Step 2

when he got home from school zeke eats half of what is left

so, to know the pizza afterhe eats do the multiplication

`\text{uneaten pizza=}(3)/(5)\cdot(1)/(2)=(3)/(10)`

now, compare

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(10)\text{ and }(1)/(2) \\ \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} (3)/(10)<(1)/(2) \\ 0.3<0.5 \end{gathered}`

so,

after zeke is done there is less than half of a pizza

I hope this helps you
