Question

Lonna gave away 13/8 pie to her neighbor. Each pie was cut into 8 pieces. How many pieces of pie did lonna give to her neighbor

Answer 1

The number of pieces of pie (Lonna give to her neighbor) = 13

Explanation:

From question,

each pie cut into 8 pieces

so,

1 pie = 8 pieces

and Lonna gave away
`(13)/(8)` pie to her neighbor.

Now,

1 pie = 8 pieces

1 ×
`(13)/(8)` pie = 8 ×
`(13)/(8)` pieces

`(13)/(8)` pie = 13 pieces

Hence,

The number of pieces (Lonna give to her neighbor) = 13

Answer 2

13 pieces

Explanation:

We are given that each pie was cut into 8 pieces .

therefore 1 pie is equal to 8 pieces

1 pie = 8 pieces

Lonna gave 13/8 pie to her neighbor .

So multiply both sides with 13/8 in the above equation in order to make the right side into 13/8 pie and to find the corresponding number of pieces .

`(13)/(8)` pie=8×
`(13)/(8)` pieces

`(13)/(8)` pie = 13 pieces
