When planning for a dinner party, my mom purchased 3 pies of the same size for dessert. We ate 3/4 of one pie and 7/8 of another pie. How much pie was left over after the party?

Answer:

1 3/8

Explanation:

First, we have to make the fractions have the same denominator. 3/4= 6/8.

So, in all, they ate 13/8, or 1 5/8 of the pie. 3- 1 5/8= 1 3/8
