Question

six friends share 5 meat pies. each friend first eats half of a meat pie. how much more meat pie does each friend need to eat to finish all the meat pies and share them equally.

Answer 1

So at the beginning, the friends eat 3 meat pies in total. So that leaves two meat pies left.
So basically, we divide the meat pies by the number of friends.
2/6 is 1/3
So each friend needs to eat 1/3 of a meat pie
