Question

If you have a quarter of a pie and you cut it in half, what fraction of a pie would each slice represent? enter the numerator followed by the denominator, separated by a comma.

Answer 1

$\\ \text{Suppose you have a quarter of a pie, so in mathematical notation the part of }\\ \text{pie you have is}=\frac{1}{4}\\ \\ \text{now you cut this piece of quarter pie in half and make two equal part.}\\ \\ \text{so the fraction of the pie, that each slice would represent is:}\\ \\ =\text{Half of the quarter pie}\\ \\ =\frac{1}{2}\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )\\ \\ =\frac{1}{8}$

Hence the fraction of a pie that each slice represent is: 1,8
