Question

There are 16 pies on a picnic table each pie is cut into pieces each piece is 1/8 of a pie how many pieces of pie on the picnic table

Answer 1

For this case what we should do is find the number of pieces of pie on the picnic table.

For this, we use the following relationship:

`N = \frac {number\ of\ pies} {length\ of\ each\ piece}`

Substituting values we have:

`N = \frac {16} {\frac {1} {8}}`

Rewriting:

`N = 16 * 8\\N = 128`

Answer:

The number of pieces of pie on the picnic table is:

`N = 128`

Answer 2

128 pieces

Explanation:

If each pie is cut into 1/8 of a pie, then the number of piece from a pie

= 1/1/8

= 8 piece

Since there are 16 pies and each pie is cut into 8 pieces, the total number of pieces available must be equivalent to the product of the number of pies and 8

= 16 * 8

= 128 pieces
