Question

Mrs. Hanson has 2 pies for a party. She calculates that if she splits the pies evenly among the guests, they will each receive

1
8
of a pie. How many guests are there?
guests

Answer 1

16 guests

Explanation:

if each guest receives 1/8 of a pie from the 2 pies

that would mean that there are 16 guests

because each person gets an eighth and there are eight pieces in an eighth times 2 is 16

Answer 2

1/8 of a pie means that there are 8 slices before you can get a full pie therefore 8*2 =16

That means there are 16 guests.

Hope this helped!
