Question

Hassem and his family cut an apple pie into 5 equal slices and a blueberry pie into 10 equal slices. They ate 3/5 of the apple pie. If they ate the same fraction of the blueberry pie, how many slices of the blueberry pie did they eat?

Answer 1

So set up an equation to answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Hassem and his family ate 6 slices of blueberry pie.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question states that Hassem and his family cut the blueberry pie into 10 equal slices.

Hassem and his family ate 3/5 of the apple pie, if they ate the same fraction of the blueberry pie, this implies that Hassem and his family ate 3/5 of the blueberry pie.

Since the blueberry is cut into 10 equal slices,  the number of slices Hassan and his family ate is simply 3/5 of 10 = $\frac{3}{5}$ × 10  =$\frac{30}{5}$  =  6 slices.

Therefore, Hassem and his family ate 6 slices of blueberry pie.
