At the bake sale,pies were cut 8pieces and sold by the slice. At the and of the sale, there were 11 pieces left. How much pie is left? Write your answer in different way.

1 3/8

a bake sale has 8 pies for sale. each pie was cut into 8 slices. each slice was sold for 9 dollars. what was the total amount earned for the sale of all pies

To find out how much pie is left, we need to subtract the number of pieces sold from the total number of pieces.

First, let's determine the total number of pieces of pie. We know that each pie was cut into 8 pieces. So, if there were 11 pieces left, we can assume that these 11 pieces make up a whole pie.

Now, to find the total number of pieces, we can add the 11 remaining pieces to the pieces that were sold. Since we don't know the number of slices sold, we can assign a variable for it, let's say "x".

Therefore, the equation can be written as: 11 + x = total number of pieces.

Since the pies were initially cut into 8 pieces each, we can express the total number of pieces as a multiple of 8. Hence, the equation can also be written as: 11 + x = 8y, where "y" represents the total number of pies.

To write the answer in a different way, we can say that if there are 11 pieces left, it means there is less than a whole pie remaining. Thus, we can express this as a fraction or decimal by dividing the 11 remaining pieces by the total number of pieces in a pie (8):

Fraction: 11/8
Decimal: 1.375 (obtained by dividing 11 by 8)

So, there is approximately 1 and 3/8 (or 1.375) pies left.

11 pieces equal to 1 pie and 3/8 of a pie
