Answer:

Hassem and his family ate 6 slices of blueberry pie.

Explanation:

The question states that Hassem and his family cut the blueberry pie into 10 equal slices.

Hassem and his family ate 3/5 of the apple pie, if they ate the same fraction of the blueberry pie, this implies that Hassem and his family ate 3/5 of the blueberry pie.

Since the blueberry is cut into 10 equal slices, the number of slices Hassan and his family ate is simply 3/5 of 10 =
(3)/(5) × 10 =
(30)/(5) = 6 slices.

Therefore, Hassem and his family ate 6 slices of blueberry pie.
