1/4 = broccolis
1/2 = mushroom
1/4= 3 cheeses

George ate a 1/3 of the broccoli & 1/2 of the 3 cheeses.

1/3 of 1/4 broccoli= ?
1/2 of 1/4 3 cheeses = ?
1/3 of 1/2 mushrooms= ?

(1/3)/(1/4)= 5/6
(1/2)/(1/4)= 1/6
(1/3)/(1/2)= 1/6

5/6+1/6+1/6= 7/18

He ate 7/18 of the whole pizza.

He ate 5/6 of the broccoli pizza & 1/6 of the 3 cheeses.
