The pumpkin pie was sliced into 6 equal peices After 1 piece was taken what was the fraction of the pie left?

Whole pie = 6/6

One slice = 1/6

6/6 - 1/6 = 5/6

5/6 pieces were left

To find the fraction of the pie left after one piece is taken, we need to subtract the fraction of the pie that is taken from the whole pie.

The whole pie was sliced into 6 equal pieces. So, the fraction of the pie taken is 1/6 since one piece was taken.

To find the fraction of the pie left, we subtract 1/6 from 1 (the whole pie).

1 - 1/6 = 6/6 - 1/6 = 5/6

Therefore, the fraction of the pie left is 5/6.

To find the fraction of the pie left after one piece was taken, you need to consider the total number of pieces and the number of pieces left.

In this case, the pumpkin pie was sliced into 6 equal pieces, and 1 piece was taken. So, out of the 6 pieces, 1 piece was removed, leaving 6 - 1 = 5 pieces remaining.

To express the fraction, you simply write the number of pieces left over the total number of pieces. Therefore, the fraction of the pie left is 5/6.

So, the answer is: After one piece was taken, there are 5/6 (five-sixths) of the pumpkin pie left.
