Here again now, STUDENT.
Anthony ate 9/20 of the pizza for dinner. Then 11/20 of the pizza remains AFTER dinner.
At a bedtime snack, he ate 1/16 of the remaining 11/20 of the POST-DINNER pizza, which is %281%2F16%29%2A%2811%2F20%29+=+11%2F320 of the POST-DINNER pizza.
Then 9%2F20+%2B+11%2F320+=+155%2F320+=+31%2F64 of the WHOLE pizza was eaten.
Get it?
