Question

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

Answer 1

He sold one half of the pie because if you do it in your head split one half into 3 and get one sixth, then that slit in two is 1 twelfth so if he sold six pieces and six is one half of twelve then you get one half.

Answer 2

He had sold 1/2 of the pie.
