There was 2/3 of a fruitcake left over. elizabeth ate 1/5 of it. how much of the whole fruitcake did she eat?
a) 2/15
b) 2/8
c) 9/15
d) 11/15

Explanation:

Multiply 2/3 and 1/5 to get 2/15

You multiply straight across: (2/3)*(1/5) = (2*1)/(3*5) = 2/15

You can think of it like this: Imagine there are 15 slices overall. If people eat 5 slices, then there's 15-5 = 10 left over so 10/15 = 2/3 is left over

1/5th of 10 is 2, so Elizabeth eats 2 slices meaning she ate 2/15 of the cake.

the correct is answer is a 9-sided polygon!
