Mark left 3/8 of pizza in the refrigerator. On friday he ate 1/2 if what is left of the pizza. What fraction of the entire pizza did he eat on friday?

Respuesta :

3/16 because 3/8 is equal to 6/16 and half of that is 3/16.

Answer:

Mike ate [tex]\frac{3x}{16}[/tex]th portion of the pizza on Friday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the quantity of pizza = x  

If Mike left [tex]\frac{3x}{8}[/tex] of the pizza in the refrigerator.

On Friday he ate [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] the portion of pizza he ate = [tex]\frac{3x}{8}\times \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{3x}{16}[/tex]

Therefore, Mike ate [tex]\frac{3x}{16}[/tex]th portion of the pizza on Friday.
