George cut 2/3 of the pie and put that giant piece on his plate. Then he ate 1/4 of that piece. what fraction of the original pie did george eat?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

G. . =. .(1/4) * ( (2/3) * p ) -----> p = 1

G. . =. .(1/4) * ( (2/3) * 1 )

G. . =. .(1/4) * (2/3)

G. . = (1/6) <------ the Desired

George eats 1 / 6 of the original pie.

Given that,
George cut 2/3 of the pie and put that giant piece on his plate. Then he ate 1/4 of that piece. what fraction of the original pie did George eat is to be determined

What is the fraction?

Fraction is defined as the number of compositions that constitute the Whole.

What is simplification?

The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function or expression simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.

Here,
Let the complete fraction of the pie is x
George cut 2 / 3 of the pie = 2 / 3 * x
An ate 1 / 4 of that piece = 1 / 4 * 2 / 3 * x
                                         = x / 6

Implies, George eat 1 / 6 of the original pie,

Thus, George eats 1 / 6 of the original pie.
