Question

Gabriella had 6/8 of a whole pie left she gave Reuben 2/3 of the pie she had left how much of a whole pie did Reuben get

Answer 1

`(1)/(2)` of the whole pie

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem calls for a multiplication of fractions. In order to know how much pie Reuben got, we have to multiply
`(2)/(3)` by the pie Gabriella has, which is
`(6)/(8)`.

So:
`(2)/(3)` x
`(6)/(8)` =
`(12)/(24)`

Let's reduce the answer to its lowest term by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 12.

Numerator: 12÷12 = 1

Denominator: 24÷12 = 2

So, this makes Reuben's share being
`(1)/(2)` of the whole pie.
