Question

Mrs. Wienman baked her family’s favorite pie. There are 5 people in the family. She cut the pie into eight parts. Her family ate four slices. What part of the pie was left?

Answer 1

Pie remaining = 1/2 (simplified form of 4/8)

Explanation:

Pie = 1 = 8/8 (cut into 8 peices)

Pie ate = 4/8

Pie remaining = 4/8 (8/8 - 4/8)
