George cut 2/3 of the pie and put that giant piece on his plate. Then he ate 1/4 of that piece. what fraction of the original pie did george eat?

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

G. . =. .(1/4) * ( (2/3) * p ) > p = 1

G. . =. .(1/4) * ( (2/3) * 1 )

G. . =. .(1/4) * (2/3)

G. . = (1/6) < the Desired

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
