Question

Jared ate 1/4 of a loaf bread. He cut the rest of loaf into slices. How many slices of bread did he cut?

Answer 1

Answer:  He cut 6 slices of bread.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Jared ate $\dfrac{1}{4}$ of a loaf of bread.

Then , the reaming portion of the bread will be $1-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{4-1}{3}=\dfrac{3}{4}$.

The size of each slice = $\dfrac{1}{8}$ of a bread.

N ow , the number of slices he cut the remaining portion =$\dfrac{3}{4}\div\dfrac{1}{8}$

$=\dfrac{3}{4}\times8=6$

Hence, the number of slices of bread he cut = 6.

Answer 2

3 slices because he ate 1 slice ( 1/4) (2/4) (3/4) (4/4) so 3 slices
