Question

Jax and Jane ordered a medium-sized pizza for dinner. Jax ate $\frac{2}{3}$ of the pizza.
How much of the pizza did Jane eat?

• A. $\frac{1}{3}$
• B. $\frac{2}{3}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $\frac{3}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{3}$

$\text{Fraction of the pizza eaten by Jax}=\frac{2}{3}$

Since the denominator is 3, the whole is $\text{represented as}\frac{3}{3}.$


So, the fraction of the pizza eaten by Jane
$=\frac{3}{3}–\frac{2}{3}$

$=\frac{3–2}{3}$

$=\frac{1}{3}$
