Question

Deonn cuts a pie into 2 equal parts. He gives 1 part of the pie away. How much of the pie does Deonn give away?

Answer 1

Half of the pie has been given away

Answer 2

Answer: Deonn gives 1/2 of the pie away.

Explanation:

If you figure that each of the 2 equal parts are now each 1/2 (in other words 1 pie / 2 pieces) then when you give one of the parts away, you are giving 1/2 of the pie away.
