The given question is "Katie made two pies for the bake sale one was cut into three slices and the other was cut into five slices what is the least common number of slice each pie could have
."
One piece is cut into 3 slices
Other piece is cut into 5 slices
We need to find the least common number of slice each pie could have
. It means we need to find LCM of the two numbers.
Subtracting a negative integer is the same as adding a positive integer. Adding a positive integer to any number always makes the answer larger than the original number. Therefore, if you subtract one negative integer from another your answer will be always be *greater* than the integer you started with.
