Answer:

i might be wrong because i am not lying i am a sixth grader but the answer that i think it is is she ate 2/3 of 1/2 so that would be 4/6 of 1/2 so in all if it was a whole 2/2 it would've been 4/12 of it that she ate

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

In this problem, we need to find 2/3 of 1/2. In order to do this, we'll use multiplication. When multiplying fractions, simply multiply straight across- numerator × numerator and denominator × denominator.


(2 \: * \: 1)/(3 \: * \: 2) = (2)/(6)

Now let's simplify:


(2 \: / \: 2)/(6 \: / \: 2) = (1)/(3)

This means Harper ate 1/3 pan of brownies!
