Answer 1

2 1/4

Explanation:

amount left of apple pie = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4

amount left of blackberry pie = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2

amount left of blueberry pie = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8

amount left of cherry pie = 1 - 5/8 = 3/8

amount left of peach pie = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4

add this figures together

1/4 + 1/2 + 7/8 + 3/8 + 1/4

2 4 + 7 + 3 + 2

8
