Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{24}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
He bought 3/8 of a pound and ate 1/9 of it. The equation of this problem would be:
[tex]\frac{3}{8} * \frac{1}{9}[/tex] = amount he ate
Cancel the 3 on the numerator by dividing the denominator by 3.
[tex]\frac{1}{8} * \frac{1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{24}[/tex]
Thus, he ate [tex]\frac{1}{24}[/tex] pounds of chips
