Question

7. Luke, Evan, Sarah, and Skylar are equally sharing three pies: blueberry, apple, and cherry. What amount of pie will each person get? O 4/3 of a pie 3/4 of a pie O a 2/3 of a pie O 1/2 of a pie

Answer 1

There are 3 pies: blueberry, apple, and cherry

4 people are to share the pies

To get the amount each person will get, we can represent one person share with y

To obtain y, we will have to cross multiply

so that 4 x y = 3 x 1

4y = 3

Divide both sides by 4

y = 3/4

Answer = 3/4 of a pie
