To find out how many slices Ben ate, you need to calculate 1/3 of the total number of slices.
Since the pizza was cut into 6 slices, you can find 1/3 of 6 as follows:
1/3 * 6 = 2
Therefore, Ben ate 2 slices of pizza.
To find out how many slices Ben ate, we can multiply the total number of slices by the fraction representing how much of the pizza he ate.
The total number of slices is given as 6.
The fraction representing how much Ben ate is 1/3.
To find how many slices Ben ate, we can multiply 6 by 1/3:
6 * (1/3) = 6/3 = 2
So, Ben ate 2 slices of the pizza.
