Marcus baked a loaf of banana bread for a party. He cut the loaf into equal size pieces.how can you find the number of pieces in the whole loaf if Marcus told you that 1/3 of the loaf was left

If he cut the loaf into equal pieces, then told you 1/3 was left you could check the even multiples of three. Such as six. So he could have 2 pieces left of his loaf if he cut them into six pieces because 1/3 = 2/6
