Question

Tiya has 7/9 of an apple pie. How many pieces, each 1/3 pie, can she get from that pie?

Answer 1

Would it be 3? 1/3*3= 6/9 and that’s the highest amount she can get from it. I’m not sure I understand the question, though.

Answer 2

namely how many times does 1/3 go into 7/9?

`\bf \cfrac{7}{9}/ \cfrac{1}{3}\implies \cfrac{7}{9}\cdot \cfrac{3}{1}\implies \cfrac{7}{1}\cdot \cfrac{3}{9}\implies \cfrac{7}{1}\cdot \cfrac{1}{3}\implies \cfrac{7}{3}\implies 2(1)/(3)`
