Question

There was three eighths of a pizza on the counter. Evan eat one half of what was there. What part of a whole pizza did he eat?

Answer 1

3/16, or 1 and a half slices

Explanation:

there was three eighths, so 3/8, and Evan ate half of the 3/8, so 1/2

You multiply the 2 amounts together, 1/2 * 3/8 = 3/16

He ate 3/16 of the whole pizza
