All right 1/4 of a pie. If there were eight slices of pizza, how many slices did you just eat?

Final answer:

When eating 1/4 of a pizza that is cut into eight slices, you consume two slices of the pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a pizza is divided into eight slices and you eat 1/4 of the pizza, you're essentially eating one quarter of the total number of slices. To find out how many slices you have eaten, you need to multiply the total number of slices by the fraction of the pizza you ate.

To calculate:

(1/4) × 8 slices = 2 slices.

So, by eating 1/4 of a pie (or pizza in this case) which consists of eight slices, you would have eaten two slices.
