Question

The 7th grade students at Palm Coast Middle School made some apple pies for a bake sale. The school cafeteria also donated 9 pies toward the effort. All the pies at the sale were cut into 8 pieces. If at least 224 pieces of pie were sold in all, how many pies did the students bake? (shown on number lines)

Answer 1

Answer: at least 19

Explanation:

Since there were at least 224 pieces of pie sold. We would divide the amount of slices of pie sold (224) by the amount of slices in each pie (8). Which would be (28) pies sold and then we would subtract the (9) pies that the school gave us, and we would end up with (19) pies.
