Answer 1

He will put 5 equal slices on 5 different plates.

Answer 2

Answer: Part of the pie he will put on each plate is given by

`(1)/(8)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of equal slices of a lemon pie Darren cut into = 8

His friends ate some of the pie and now
`(5)/(8)` is left.

According to question, Darren wants to put each slice of the leftover pie on its own plate.

Since Total slice of lemon = 8

Part of slice is left = 5

Part of the pie he will put on each plate is given by

`(1)/(8)`

Number of plates he needed is given by

`5\\\\=\beacuse 5* (1)/(8)`

That means there are 5 persons who will get
`(1)/(8)` part of the pie.

Hence, Part of the pie he will put on each plate is given by

`(1)/(8)`
