Answer 1

after Zeke is done there is less than half of a pizza

Explanation

Step 1

Zeke found that 3 fifths of a pizza left when he got home from school

let

total pizza=1

so,

$\begin{gathered} \text{ pizza = }\frac{3}{5}of1\text{ = }\frac{3}{5}\cdot1=\frac{3}{5} \\ \text{ pizza =}\frac{3}{5} \end{gathered}$

Step 2

when he got home from school zeke eats half of what is left

so, to know the pizza afterhe eats do the multiplication

$\text{uneaten pizza=}\frac{3}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{10}$

now, compare

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{10}\text{ and }\frac{1}{2} \\ \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{10}<\frac{1}{2} \\ 0.3<0.5 \end{gathered}$

so,

after zeke is done there is less than half of a pizza

I hope this helps you
