What is the equivalent fraction of $$\frac{1}{2}$$ with a denominator of 8?

To find an equivalent fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number. For $$\frac{1}{2}$$ , multiply by 4: $$\frac{1 \times 4}{2 \times 4} = \frac{4}{8}$$ .

If you have 3/4 of a pizza and eat 1/3 of it, how much pizza do you have left?

To find out how much pizza you have left, first calculate how much you eat: $$\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3 \times 1}{4 \times 3} = \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}$$ . Then subtract from the original amount: $$\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$$ . You have $$\frac{1}{2}$$ of the pizza left.
