Question

Lonna gave away 13/8 pie to her neighbor. Each pie was cut into 8 pieces. How many pieces of pie did lonna give to her neighbor

Answer 1

Answer:

13 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that each pie was cut into 8 pieces .

therefore 1 pie is equal to 8 pieces

1 pie = 8 pieces

Lonna gave 13/8 pie to her neighbor .

So multiply both sides with 13/8 in the above equation in order to make the right side into 13/8 pie and to find the corresponding number of pieces .

1×$\frac{13}{8}$ pie=8×$\frac{13}{8}$ pieces

$\frac{13}{8}$ pie = 13 pieces

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of pieces of pie (Lonna give to her neighbor) = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

From question,

                         each pie cut into 8 pieces

                 so,

                          1 pie = 8 pieces

and Lonna gave away $\frac{13}{8}$ pie to her neighbor.

                    Now,

                              1 pie = 8 pieces

                        1 × $\frac{13}{8}$ pie = 8 × $\frac{13}{8}$ pieces

                          $\frac{13}{8}$ pie = 13 pieces

     Hence,

                  The number of pieces (Lonna give to her neighbor) = 13
