Question

baker has 5\dfrac145 4 1 ​ 5, start fraction, 1, divided by, 4, end fraction pies in her shop. She cut the pies in pieces that are each \dfrac18 8 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 8, end fraction of a whole pie.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "She cut a total of 42 pieces of pie".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total pie=  $5 \frac{1}{4}$

cut pie = $\frac{1}{8}$

The number of pieces of the pie she has=?

Solve the mixed fraction value:

$\to 5 \frac{1}{4}= \frac{21}{4}$

If she cuts the pieces into the entire pie, that is  = $\frac{1}{8}$  

So, the equation is:

$\to \frac{21}{4} = \frac{1}{8} \times x$

$\to x= \frac{21 \times 8}{4}\\\\ \to x= 21 \times 2\\\\ \to x=42$
