Question

You have 3/4 of a pie leftover after your party. Each guest takes home 1/6 of the leftover pie.

Answer 1

Let the whole pie be represented by n.

Then 3n/4 is the amount of leftover pie.

Then each guest takes home (1/6)(3n/4):  3n/24, or n/8.

This represents 1/8 of the original whole pie.
