Kate baked 3 pies for a family reunion. She cut each pie into 8 slices. the family ate 2/3 of the pies. How many slices of pie were eaten? And how would i show it if i had to show the pies?
Draw three pies. Show how each pie was cut into 8 pieces.
You'd have 3 * 8 = 24 pieces.
(2/3) * 24 = 48/3 = 16

To find out how many slices of pie were eaten, we can break down the problem step by step.
First, let's calculate the total number of slices in all the pies:
Kate baked 3 pies, and each pie was cut into 8 slices.
So the total number of slices in all the pies is 3 pies * 8 slices/pie = 24 slices.
Next, let's determine how many slices were eaten.
The family ate 2/3 of the pies, which means they left 1/3 of the pies uneaten.
To find out how many slices were eaten, we can calculate 2/3 of the total number of slices.
2/3 of 24 slices = (2/3) * 24 = 16 slices.
Therefore, the family ate 16 slices of pie.
Now, let's discuss how you can visually show the pies:
You can draw or sketch three pie shapes to represent the three pies Kate baked. Then, divide each pie into equal parts to represent the slices. Since each pie was cut into 8 slices, you would draw 8 lines inside each pie to create 8 slices in each.
After dividing the pies into slices, you can shade or color in 16 slices to represent the number of slices that were eaten by the family out of the total 24 slices.
This visual representation will help you visualize the problem and explain the solution more clearly.
