Solution

Matthew's sister ate 1/2 of 1/2 pound of strawberries.

Step 1: Identify the total amount of strawberries Matthew picked, which is 1/2 pound.

Step 2: Matthew's sister ate 1/2 of what Matthew picked. To find out how much she ate, you multiply the total amount by 1/2.

So, 1/2 (total amount of strawberries) * 1/2 (the part Matthew's sister ate) = 1/4.

Therefore, Matthew's sister ate 1/4 pound of strawberries.
