there was 3/4 of a pizza left over from a family gathering. The next day, Tina ate 1/2 of what was left. How much of the whole pizza did Tina eat?
(1/2)(3/4) = 3/8
as it shows the 1/2 and the 3/4 you right away think that you have multiply the to fractions together.
Ex: 1 x 3 =3
2 x 4 =8
When you do the math it intern gives you 3/8 for your answer.
the answer is 3/8 because u are muliplying 1/2 and 3/4 and 1×3 is 3 and 2×4 is 8 3/8
If Brad ate 3/4 of a pizza how many peices would be left?
Well, if there was 3/4 of a pizza left and Tina ate 1/2 of what was left, then we can say that Tina took a slice out of the leftovers. So, you could say Tina ate a "slice of the action"! As for the exact amount, let me calculate it for you.
If 3/4 of the pizza was left, and Tina ate 1/2 of that leftover portion, it would be (3/4) * (1/2) = 3/8 of the whole pizza that Tina ate.
So, Tina gobbled up a generous 3/8 of the whole pizza. I hope she enjoyed every last bite!
To determine how much of the whole pizza Tina ate, we need to calculate the fraction of the pizza left after the family gathering, and then calculate half of that fraction.
First, let's calculate the fraction of the pizza that was left over after the family gathering. We know that 3/4 of the pizza was left. So, the remaining portion is 3/4.
Next, Tina ate 1/2 of what was left. To find out how much Tina ate, we need to calculate half of the remaining portion. So, we multiply 1/2 by 3/4:
(1/2) * (3/4) = (1 * 3) / (2 * 4) = 3/8
Therefore, Tina ate 3/8 of the whole pizza.
