Erica had 7/8 of a pizza left. Her friend ate 1/6 of the pizza that was left. What fraction of the whole pizza did her friend eat.is the answer 7/48
You are correct.
To find out what fraction of the whole pizza Erica's friend ate, we need to calculate the total fraction of the pizza her friend consumed.
Erica had 7/8 of the pizza left, which means there was 1 - 7/8 = 1/8 of the pizza remaining.
Next, her friend ate 1/6 of the pizza that was left. To calculate this, we multiply 1/8 by 1/6:
(1/8) * (1/6) = 1/48
Therefore, the fraction of the whole pizza Erica's friend ate is 1/48, not 7/48.
