Answer this question:

Angie and her friends ate \(\frac{3}{4}\) of a pizza. Her brother Joe ate \(\frac{2}{3}\) of what was left. How much did Joe eat?

Asked by Carbimongeldan

Answer (3)

If Angie and her friends ate 3/4 of a pizza, that means that 1/4 is left. Joe ate 2/3 of 1/4 of a pizza. To find out how much he ate, multiply 1/4 by 2/3.
4 1 ​ ∗ 3 2 ​ = 12 2 ​ because you multiply fractions straight across.
Your answer is 2/12 or 1/6 of the pizza

Joe ate 6 1 ​ of the pizza after Angie and her friends had their portion. This was calculated by first finding how much pizza was left and then determining what 3 2 ​ of that amount is. The answer shows the importance of multiplying fractions correctly.
