The correct answer is 1/16

Answer 2

Answer: $\dfrac{1}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Karina bought a pizza that was cut into 8 equal pieces. She ate half of one piece.

Then , the fraction of each part of pizza = $\dfrac{1}{8}$

Also, She ate half of one piece.

Then the fraction of half of one piece will be :-

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{1}{16}$

Therefore, the  fraction of the whole pizza she ate= $\dfrac{1}{16}$
