Question

Jared ate 1/4 of a loaf bread. He cut the rest of loaf into slices. How many slices of bread did he cut?

Answer 1

3 slices because he ate 1 slice ( 1/4) (2/4) (3/4) (4/4) so 3 slices

Answer 2

Answer: He cut 6 slices of bread.

Explanation:

Given : Jared ate
`(1)/(4)` of a loaf of bread.

Then , the reaming portion of the bread will be
`1-(1)/(4)=(4-1)/(3)=(3)/(4)`.

The size of each slice =
`(1)/(8)` of a bread.

N ow , the number of slices he cut the remaining portion =
`(3)/(4)/(1)/(8)`

`=(3)/(4)*8=6`

Hence, the number of slices of bread he cut = 6.
