A pastry chef has 13 pounds of apple slices to make 8 apple pies. if the chef distributes the slices equally, what will be the weight of the apple slices used to make each pie?

13 divided by 8 is 1 with 5 left over.

13/8 = 1 5/8 pounds for each pie

13/8 = ?

13 / 8 = ( 8 + 5 ) / 8 = 8 / 8 + 5 / 8 = 1 5 / 8 = 1.625

5/2.8 lb

Well, isn't that a fruity question! If the pastry chef has 13 pounds of apple slices and wants to make 8 apple pies, we can do some quick math (and maybe a little pie-ology). 13 pounds divided by 8 pies gives us... *drumroll* ...about 1.625 pounds of apple slices per pie! So, if you want a slice of that pie, you'll be getting approximately 1.625 pounds of apple goodness. Enjoy!

To find the weight of the apple slices used to make each pie, you can divide the total weight of apple slices (13 pounds) by the number of pies (8).

Mathematically, this can be represented as:

Weight of apple slices for each pie = Total weight of apple slices / Number of pies

Plugging in the values:

Weight of apple slices for each pie = 13 pounds / 8 pies

Dividing 13 pounds by 8 pies gives you approximately 1.625 pounds of apple slices for each pie.

Therefore, the weight of apple slices used to make each pie will be approximately 1.625 pounds.
