She would want 1/6 of it.
1/2x1/3= 1/6

Answer:

The amount of pizza she wants is:

                        \(\dfrac{1}{6}\) of the pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is 1/3 of a pizza left, and Becky only wants to eat 1/2 of it.

Then the amount of pizza she wants is:

          1/2 of the amount of the pizza left.

i.e. she wants:

\(\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1}{6}\)

This means that Becky wants 1/6 parts of the whole pizza.
