rene gave each of six people 1/10 of a veggie pizza. rene has 2/5 of the pizza left. explain how this is true

6 * 1/10 = 6/10

10/10 - 6/10 = 4/10 = 2/5

To explain how Rene has 2/5 of the pizza left, we need to understand how fractions work and perform some calculations.

Step 1: Start with the whole pizza.
Assume the whole pizza represents 1.

Step 2: Distribute 1/10 to each of the six people.
Since there are six people, each person receives 1/10 of the pizza.
So, 6 people each receive: (1/10) x (1/6) = 1/60 of the whole pizza.

Step 3: Calculate the total amount given to the six people.
Multiply the portion given to one person by the total number of people: 1/60 x 6 = 6/60 = 1/10.

Step 4: Calculate the amount remaining with Rene.
Since Rene gave away 1/10 of the pizza, what remains is: 1 - 1/10 = 9/10.

Step 5: Express the remaining amount as a fraction.
To determine how much Rene has left, we represent it as 9/10, which can be simplified to 2/5.

Therefore, Rene has 2/5 of the pizza left after giving 1/10 to each of the six people.
