Susan gave 1/3 of a pizza to her brother. She gave 1/2 of what was left to her mother. Susan ate the rest herself. What fraction of the pizza did susan eat?
1 - 1/3 = 2/3
1/2 of 2/3 = 1/3
1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3
So, Susan ate the other 1/3 of the pizza

that did not help
To find out what fraction of the pizza Susan ate, we need to follow the given information step by step.
Step 1: Susan gave 1/3 of the pizza to her brother.
So, what was left is 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 of the pizza.
Step 2: Susan gave 1/2 of what was left (2/3) to her mother.
To calculate this, we multiply 1/2 by 2/3. (1/2) × (2/3) = 2/6 = 1/3 of the pizza.
Step 3: Susan ate the rest herself.
So, what was left after giving 1/2 to her mother (1/3) is now in Susan's possession.
Therefore, Susan ate 1/3 of the pizza.
So, Susan ate 1/3 of the whole pizza.
