Question

There is a pie eating contest with 9participants. There are 46 pies that are all eaten. Which of the following best describes how many pies each person ate if they are very evenly matched?​

Answer 1

5 and 1/9th

Explanation:

Ok so there are 9 people and 46 pies if they each ate the same amount of pies than that would each have eaten 5 and 1/9. Because 9 × 5 = 45 and then you have one pie left over which could be cut into 9 slices so each person has 5 pies and 1 of 9 slices
