Katie and her family ordered a pizza for dinner and ate 3/4 of it. The next day, Katie ate 1/2 of what was left over for lunch. What fraction of the original pizza did Katie eat for lunch?

Answer 1

If the family ate 3/4 of the pizza for dinner, then only 1/4 was left for the next day.

If we divide the 1/4 in half, we would have 2/8 of the pizza left, and Katie ate 1/8 of the total pizza.

The video uses a visual to give the full explanation of the problem.

Or mathematically:

1/4*1/2=1/8
