Answer:

He have to eat each piece in
(1)/(3) \ minute.

Explanation:

Given:

Brian claims that he can eat a pie that is divided into six equal pieces In two minutes.

If he can eat the whole pie in two minutes.

Now, to find the time he have to eat for each piece.

So, to solve by using unitary method:

If Brian can eat 6 pieces in = 2 minutes.

Then, he can eat 1 piece in =
(2)/(6)
=(1)/(3) \ minute.

Therefore, he have to eat each piece in
(1)/(3) \ minute.
