Weekly Problem 8 - 2013
After the first mouse has eaten, $\frac{2}{3}$ of the cheese remains. After the second mouse has eaten, $\frac{2}{3}$ of $\frac{2}{3}$, that is $\frac{4}{9}$, of the cheese remains. Finally, after the third mouse has eaten, $\frac{2}{3}$ of $\frac{4}{9}$, that is $\frac{8}{27}$ of the cheese remains. So the mice ate $\frac{19}{27}$ of the cheese.
