1/2*2/3 = 2/6 for what potato salad left .
To find out how much potato salad was left for an afternoon snack, we need to calculate the portion of potato salad that YikesMcTugg ate for lunch.
We know that YikesMcTugg bought 1/2 pound of potato salad, and he ate 2/3 of it for lunch.
To calculate the amount he ate for lunch, we multiply the amount he bought by the fraction he ate, which is (1/2) * (2/3).
Multiplying the fractions, we get (1/2) * (2/3) = 2/6.
Simplifying the fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by 2, which gives us 1/3.
So, YikesMcTugg ate 1/3 of a pound of potato salad for lunch.
To find out how much potato salad was left for an afternoon snack, we subtract the portion he ate for lunch from the amount he bought.
Subtracting 1/3 pound from 1/2 pound, we get:
1/2 - 1/3 = (3/6) - (2/6) = 1/6.
Therefore, YikesMcTugg had 1/6 pound of potato salad left for an afternoon snack.
