You have 2\3 of a pizza left from yesterday. You divide it into 4 equal pieces. What fraction of the pizza is each piece?

<h3>Answer: 1/6</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

Let's say for example this pizza had 6 slices to start with. Two-thirds of this is (2/3)*12 = 4 slices. So you have 4 slices left over from yesterday. Then let's say you hand one slice to each of your four friends. Each friend would have 1/6 of the original pizza.
