Answer 1

Both Judy and Edith are correct. They each ate one-sixth of the lemon pie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Judy and Edith are discussing how much of the lemon pie they each ate. Judy claims that they each ate one-sixth of the pie, while Edith says they ate two-sixths. To determine who is correct, let's break it down:

1. Judy cut the pie into 6 equal pieces.
2. Judy ate 1 piece, so she ate 1/6 of the pie.
3. Edith also ate 1 piece, so she also ate 1/6 of the pie.

Therefore, both Judy and Edith are correct. They each ate one-sixth of the lemon pie.

Answer 2

Judith. In total they BOTH eat 2 sixths of the pie. But if you’re talking about EACH then then it’s one sixth
