2/3

Answer 1

To find out how much of the sandwich Bishop ate after work, we need to subtract the amount she ate for lunch from the initial amount of the sandwich.

Bishop ate 1/2 of the sandwich for lunch, so what is left is 1 - 1/2 = 1/2 of the sandwich.

Then, Bishop ate 2/3 of what was left after work, which is (2/3) * (1/2) = 2/6 = 1/3 of the sandwich.

Therefore, Bishop ate 1/3 of the sandwich after work.
