Hey sup!
As per the question,
Monday=1-1/2=1/2.
Tuesday=1/2/2=1/4 so, 1/2-1/4=1/4.
Wednesday=1/4/2=1/8 so, 1/4-1/8=1/8.
Thursday=1/8/2=1/16 so, 1/8-1/16=1/16.
Friday=1/16/2=1/32 so, 1/16-1/32=1/32.
Saturday=1/32/2=1/64 so, 1/32-1/64=1/64.
Sunday=1/64/2=1/128 so, 1/64-1/128=1/128.
During the week,
1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+1/128.
=(64+32+16+8+4+2+1)/128.
=127/128.
He ate 127/128 of the pizza during the week.
Hope it helps.
