To find out how much of the sandwich Bishop ate after work, we need to find 2/3 of the remaining 1/2 that she didn't eat for lunch.
First, we need to find 1/2 of the sandwich that Bishop didn't eat for lunch:
1/2 * 1 = 1/2
Next, we need to find 2/3 of the remaining 1/2:
2/3 * 1/2 = 2/6 = 1/3
So Bishop ate 1/3 of the sandwich after work.
To find out how much of the sandwich Bishop ate after work, we need to follow these steps:
1. Start with the fraction representing how much of the sandwich Bishop ate for lunch, which is 1/2.
2. Subtract this fraction from 1 (since 1 represents the whole sandwich) to find out how much was left after lunch: 1 - 1/2 = 1/2.
3. Calculate the fraction of what was left that Bishop ate after work by multiplying the fraction remaining by 2/3: (1/2) * (2/3) = 2/6 or 1/3.
Therefore, Bishop ate 1/3 of the sandwich after work.
