6. Why is the answer always a smaller fraction when we multiply proper

7. Before Mrs. Smith ordered another pizza, there was 2/3 of a pizza left.
Tommy came in and ate 1/2 of what was left of the pizza. The class
was mad that Tommy ate half of it. Tommy said, "I only ate 2
pieces!" If there are 12 pieces in a whole pizza, how many pieces did
Tommy eat? Was he lying or telling the truth?
