Question

On Friday night, Alex ate a large pizza for dinner and had LaTeX: \frac{3}{5}3 5 of the pizza left over when he was done. On Saturday, he ate LaTeX: \frac{1}{2}1 2 of what was leftover from Friday. How much pizza did Alex eat on Saturday?

Answer 1

Alex ate
`(3)/(10)` of the large pizza on Saturday.

Explanation:

Given:

Amount of Pizza which was left over on Friday =
`(3)/(5)`

Amount of Pizza ate on Saturday =
`(1)/(2)` of the Amount of Pizza was left over on Friday

We need to find how much did Alex eat on Saturday.

Solution;

Since we know that Alex ate on Saturday
`(1)/(2)` of the Amount of Pizza which was left over on Friday.

So to find the amount he ate n Saturday we will Multiply
`(1)/(2)` with the Amount of Pizza which was left over on Friday.

framing in equation form we get;

Alex ate on Saturday =
`(1)/(2)* (3)/(5)= (3)/(10)`

Hence Alex ate
`(3)/(10)` of the large pizza on Saturday.
