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

Answer:

Alex ate $\frac{3}{10}$ of the large pizza on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of Pizza which was left over on Friday = $\frac{3}{5}$

Amount of Pizza ate on Saturday  = $\frac{1}{2}$ 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 $\frac{1}{2}$ of the Amount of Pizza which was left over on Friday.

So to find the amount he ate n Saturday we will Multiply $\frac{1}{2}$ with the Amount of Pizza which was left over on Friday.

framing in equation form we get;

Alex ate on Saturday = $\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{3}{5}= \frac{3}{10}$

Hence Alex ate $\frac{3}{10}$ of the large pizza on Saturday.
