If a customer wants pie for dessert, you cut whole pies into 7 equal slices. At the end of your shift, 3/7 of a cherry pie, 2/7 of an apple pie, 3/7 of a peach pie, and 5/7 of a blueberry pie remain. How much pie remains, as a fraction of a whole pie

Answer:

13/7

Explanation:

Simply add the slices!

3+2+3+5=13 Slices

Now, we know that a full pie is 7 slices, and the answer they want is a fraction of a whole pie. Simply put the slices we have over how many are in a whole pie.

Answer: 13/7

This means we have almost 2 pies worth of random leftover slices :)
