If there is one-fourth of a pie, and Amy only wants two-thirds of it, how much of the pie does she want? (1 point)
one-third
one-fourth
The fraction is 1 over 5.
one-sixth
2/3 * 1/4 = 2/12 = 1/6
To find out how much of the pie Amy wants, we need to multiply one-fourth of the pie by two-thirds.
One-fourth multiplied by two-thirds is equal to (1/4) * (2/3).
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators (the numbers on top) and the denominators (the numbers on the bottom) separately.
So, (1/4) * (2/3) = (1 * 2) / (4 * 3) = 2/12.
Simplifying the fraction, we can simplify 2/12 to 1/6.
Therefore, Amy wants one-sixth of the pie.
To find out how much of the pie Amy wants, we need to multiply the fraction of the pie she wants by the fraction of the pie available.
Here's how to calculate it:
First, we have one-fourth of a pie, which we can represent as 1/4.
Next, we have to figure out what fraction of the available pie Amy wants. We know that she wants two-thirds of the pie, which can be represented as 2/3.
To find out the total fraction of the pie Amy wants, we multiply these two fractions together:
1/4 * 2/3 = (1 * 2) / (4 * 3) = 2/12
Simplifying this fraction, we have:
2/12 = 1/6
So, Amy wants one-sixth of the pie.
