Answer:

Answer: 10 pies on each plate.

Explanation:

Okay, to solve this problem we first need to find 3/23 of 46.

But before we do that, we need to know 1/23 of 46.

To solve this, we do 64 divided by 23 which equals 2.

then we multiple 2 by 3 to get 3/23 of 46 and that equals 6.

To find out how many pies remain, we subtract 6 pies from 46 pies, which gives us 40 pies. Then we divide 40 by 4, which is 10.
