A man has 2/5 of pizza left he gives his brother 1/3 of that how much of whole pizza did his brother get

Answer 1

We need to find out what 1/3 of 2/5 is. In most word problems, "of" means times, " is" means equals.

1/3 x 2/5 = 2/15 His brother got 2/15 of the pizza.

To check 2/15 x 3 = 6/15 6/15 can be reduced to 2/5
