Question

a baker cut a pie in half. he cut each half into 3 equal pieces and each piece into 2 equal slices. he sold 6 slices. what fraction of the pie did the baker sell

Answer 1

You first solve to see how many slices there are: $2*3*2=12$

Then you see how much he sold out of the total: $\frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}$

Answer 2

So you basically subtract 6 from 12 then but 6 over 12 as a fraction
