Question

A new baby elephant ate 2/3 bag of feed for breakfast. For lunch, the elephant ate 1/2 as much as he did for breakfast. How much feed did the elephant eat for lunch?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: $\frac{1}{3}$ bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

A new baby elephant ate $\frac{2}{3}$ bag of feed for breakfast.

For lunch, the elephant ate $\frac{1}{2}$ as much as he did for breakfast.

Means he ate $\frac{1}{2} \times\frac{2}{3}$ bag of feed for lunch.

It becomes $\frac{1}{3}$ bag.

Answer 2

You would multiply the 2, so 2/3 times 1/2, so he had 2/6 simplified to 1/3
