Question :--- we have to find what fraction of the original pizza did teddy eat for dinner ?
Given:--- Lucas divided his pizza into three equal parts ...
As one pizza was divided into three equal parts so, each friend got 1/3 part of pizza ..
His friend teddy also got the same part of the pizza ...
Now teddy eat 5/8 of the pizza in lunch and further 2/5 of the pizza in dinner ..
He eat in lunch = 5/8 of 1/3 = 5/8 * 1/3 = 5/24 part .
so, remaining part = 1/3 - 5/24 =(8-5)/24 = 3/24 = 1/8 part ...
Now he ate 2/5 part in dinner ..
so, in dinner he eat = 2/5 of 1/8 = 2/5 * 1/8 = 1/20 part ..
so, teddy eat fraction of original part for dinner is = 1/20 (Ans)
(Hope this helps you)
Answer:
1 / 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let original pizza is represented by x
ATQ, Lucas divided whole pizza in to three parts then
Each part is represented by x and distribute three parts between his two freinds and himself
one of his friend out of two is Teddy.
ATQ, Teddy eats 5/8 of his piece as lunch
So, Teddy eats amount of pizza in lunch
= ( 5/8 ) x
Remaining part of pizza that Teddy have after Teddy eat his lunch
= x - ( 5 / 8 )x
= ( 8x - 5x )/ 8
= 3 x / 8
ATQ, 2/5 part of remaining part of pizza after Teddy eat his lunch was eaten by Teddy in his dinner = (2/5) × ( 3x / 8)
= 3x / 20
Fraction of Part of pizza eaten by Teddy in his dinner
= part of pizza used as dinner/Total
pizza
= ( 3x / 20 ) / 3x
= 1 / 20
