Patrick ate \(\frac{3}{5}\) of a small pizza. For lunch on Saturday, he ate \(\frac{1}{2}\) of the leftover pizza. How much pizza did he eat for lunch on Saturday?

Asked by ldickens

Answer (3)

Patrick ate 1/5 of the pizza for lunch on Saturday. To find this, we first calculated how much pizza was left over after he initially ate 3/5 of it, which was 2/5. Then, knowing he ate half of the leftover pizza, we multiplied 2/5 by 1/2 to get 1/5. ;

Whole one pizza = 1 = 5/5 Patrick ate on Friday 3/5 so 5/5-3/5=2/5 On Saturday P. ate 1/2 of 2/5 so = 1/2*2/5= 2/10=1/5 So deduct 1/5 from 2/5 and we have 1/5 left

Patrick ate \(\frac{1}{5}\) of the pizza for lunch on Saturday. This was calculated by first finding the leftover pizza after eating \(\frac{3}{5}\) and then taking half of that leftover amount. The detailed steps involved basic fraction subtraction and multiplication.
