Question

Seth's mother brought home 3/4 of a chocolate cake and 1/2 of a vanilla cake that was left from a party at her work. Seth ate 1/3 of the chocolate cake that was left. How much of the whole chocolate cake did he eat?

Answer 1

1/4 of the cake.

Explanation:

Since he ate 1/3 of 3/4 of the chocolate cake, we will need to multiply fractions to solve this.

`(3)/(4) * (1)/(3) = (3)/(12) = (1)/(4)`

Therefore, he ate 1/4 of the entire cake.
