Question

Samantha is making goodie bags for a birthday party. She puts 2 slices of pie in each goodie bag. Her sister then puts an equal amount of pie slices in the bags, as well. Altogether they put a total of 25 pies in 5 goodie bags. Draw a tape diagram to represent this problem.

How much pie did Samantha’s sister place in each bag?

Answer 1

5 goodie bags
25 pies
25/2= 12.5
12.5=2.5
The answer varies if you choices are whole numbers or fraction, right now it would be 2 and a half pies but it could change if they are asking for a whole number
