Question

Susan gave 1/3 of a pizza to her brother. She gave 1/2 of what was left to her mother. Susan ate the rest herself. What fraction of the pizza did Susan eat?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

After Susan gave away $\frac{1}{3}$ of the pizza, $\frac{2}{3}$ remains. And now of that $\frac{2}{3}$ of the pizza  she gave away $\frac{1}{2}$. Multiply those two fractions to get $\frac{1}{3}$.
