Question

baker has 5\dfrac145 4 1 ​ 5, start fraction, 1, divided by, 4, end fraction pies in her shop. She cut the pies in pieces that are each \dfrac18 8 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 8, end fraction of a whole pie.

Answer 1

The answer is "She cut a total of 42 pieces of pie".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total pie=
`5 (1)/(4)`

cut pie =
`(1)/(8)`

The number of pieces of the pie she has=?

Solve the mixed fraction value:

`\to 5 (1)/(4)= (21)/(4)`

If she cuts the pieces into the entire pie, that is =
`(1)/(8)`

So, the equation is:

`\to (21)/(4) = (1)/(8) * x`

`\to x= (21 * 8)/(4)\\\\ \to x= 21 * 2\\\\ \to x=42`
