Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

He eats 1/6 or 1/5 of the original cake.

All  you need to do to get the answer is multiply the denominators.

1/5 * 1/6 = 1/30

If there was something in the numerators. you would multiply them too.

So suppose the two fractions were 3/5 and 2/7

The answer would be 3 * 2 / 5 * 7 = 6 / 35

General rule

When multiplying two fractions, multiply numerator * numerator / (denominator * denominator).
