You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To find out how much of the pizza Jim ate, you want to multiply %281%2F3%29%2A%281%2F2%29=%281%2F6%29. Jim ate 1/6 of the pizza. If the whole pizza contained 2000 calories and Jim ate 1/6 of the pizza, then Jim consumed %281%2F6%29%2A2000+calories+=+333+calories =) I hope this helps.
