There is half of a pepperoni pizza left. Your dog eats a fourth of what was left. How much pizza did he eat ?

Answer 1

OK, here we go! If there is half of a pepperoni pizza left, and the dog eats a fourth (1/4) of what is left, he has essentially eaten 1/4 OF 1/2 of the pizza. The "OF" implies multiplication: therefore, we multiply 1/4 by 1/2 to determine what fraction of the whole pizza he has eaten.

(1/4) x (1/2) = (1/8) is our answer - the dog ate 1/8 of the pizza! Good day for doggo!

Now I am hungry...
