Henry ate 1/3 of the pizza for dinner.
Yeah, but we got these answers A. 3/8 B. 2/3 C. 3/4 D. 1/2 and E. 5/12
Let's break it down step by step:
1. Henry ate 3/8 of the pizza for lunch.
2. This means there were 5/8 of the pizza left after lunch.
3. For dinner, Henry ate 2/3 of what was left after lunch.
4. 2/3 of 5/8 is (2/3) * (5/8) = 10/24 = 5/12 of the whole pizza that Henry ate for dinner.
Therefore, the correct answer is E. 5/12.
