Question

Marcus has 3/4 of and 8-piece pizza left over from last night. He eats 1/3 of the left over pizza for a snack. How much of the original pizza is left after his snack?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3 of the pizza remains.

Step-by-step explanation:

Matthew eats 1/3 of 1/2 of the pizza, which is (1/3)*(1/2) = 1/6 of the pizza.  The amount of pizza left is

1/2 - 1/6 = 3/6 - 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3

1/3 of the pizza remains.
