How'd you solve it?
To find out how much of the whole pizza he ate for dinner, we first need to calculate how much pizza was left after he ate 3/8 for lunch.
If Henry ate 3/8 of the pizza for lunch, there was 1 - 3/8 = 5/8 of the pizza left.
Then, for dinner, he ate 2/3 of what was left (which is 5/8).
To find how much he ate for dinner, we multiply 5/8 by 2/3:
(5/8) * (2/3) = 10/24 = 5/12.
Therefore, Henry ate 5/12 of the whole pizza for dinner.
