Question

if there is 1/3 of a pizza left, and Becky only wants to eat 1/2 of it, how much pizza does she want

Answer 1

She would want 1/6 of it. 1/2x1/3= 1/6

Answer 2

The amount of pizza she wants is:

`(1)/(6)` of the pizza.

Explanation:

If there is 1/3 of a pizza left, and Becky only wants to eat 1/2 of it.

Then the amount of pizza she wants is:

1/2 of the amount of the pizza left.

i.e. she wants:

`(1)/(2)* (1)/(3)=(1)/(6)`

This means that Becky wants 1/6 parts of the whole pizza.
