Question

Marcus baked a loaf of bread, he cut the bread into equal size pieces. at the end of the party there were 6 pieces left, if ⅙ of the bread was left how do u find the number of pieces that were in the whole loaf?

Answer 1

`36\text{ pieces was in the whole loaf}`

Here, we want to get the number of pieces in the whole loaf

From the question, we have that the six pieces left is same as one-sixth of the total number of pieces

Let the total number of pieces be x

Thus, we have it that;

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(6)*\text{ x = 6} \\ \\ x\text{ = 6}*6 \\ x\text{ = 36 pieces} \end{gathered}`
