We know that

Each pie was cut into six slices
there are a total of 48 pieces-----> divide by six to find the number of pies
48/6----> 8 pies

Two of the pies will be served to members of the department as courtesy
so
subtract 2 to the total of pies to find the pies available for sale
whole pies available for sale=8-2-----> 6 pies

the answer is
6 pies

Answer:

b. 6 pies

Step-by-step explanation:

The pies are cut into six pieces, and there are 48 pieces. 48 divided by 6 = to find how many pies there is. There are a total of 8 pies. 8 minus the 2 pies for the members of the department = 6 pies left
