Multiply the two fractions.
Are you sure
Yes. What do you get when you multiply the two fractions? Does the answer make sense to you?
I dont get it
Do you know how to multiply fractions?
Yes but since it said ate doesn't it mean subtract
Too figure out a fraction of a fraction you multiply them together.
No.

You must multiply those fractions.
Your question states that they ate a fraction of a fraction. The word "of" means multiply.

If you subtract 2/4 from 3/4, you'd get 1/4. Yet obviously they ate more than 1/4 of the package.
