Question

You need a quarter of a pumpkin

to make a pie. How many pies
can you make with three and a
half pumpkins?

Answer 1

Answer: 14

Explanation:

1/4 of a pumpkin is required to make a pie. The easiest way to complete this is to convert 3.5 pumpkins into the same fraction.

1 pumpkin = 4/4

3.5 pumpkins = 14/4

If only 1/4 of a pumpkin is required to make a pie and we have 14/4 then we can make 14 pumpkin pies.
