timmy had 1/2 of pizza left over.for lunch,he ate 1/3 of the leftover pizza.how much pizza is now left?
Once he eats half of the pizza, there is one half left. To find one third of one half, you have to multiply the fractions.
1/2 x 1/3
multiply the numerators together, then the denominators together.
1 x 1
------ = ?
2 x 3
1/6
To find out how much pizza is now left, we need to subtract the fraction Timmy ate from the fraction that was left over.
Given that Timmy had 1/2 of the pizza left, and he ate 1/3 of the leftover pizza, we can calculate the remaining pizza as follows:
1/2 - 1/3
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the lowest common denominator is 6.
Converting the fractions to have a denominator of 6, we have:
3/6 - 2/6
Subtracting the numerators, we get:
1/6
Therefore, Timmy now has 1/6 of the original pizza left after eating 1/3 of the leftover pizza.
