You have 2/5 of a pizza left over from your pool party. If you sent 2/3 of the leftover pizza home with your friends, how much of the pizza do you have left in the box?

Respuesta :

In order to determine how much of the pizza have left in the box, proceed as follow:

Multiply 2/3 by 2/5:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{15}[/tex]

It means that you sent 4/15 of the pizza you intially have.

Now, subtract 4/15 to 2/5 to determine the pizza left in the box:

[tex]\frac{2}{5}-\frac{4}{15}=\frac{30-20}{75}=\frac{10}{75}=\frac{2}{15}[/tex]

Hence, the pizza in the box is 2/15 of the pizza of the party
