Blank Space__________people
To find the number of people who ate pecan pie, we need to calculate 1/4 of the 24 people:
Number of people who ate pecan pie = (1/4) * 24 = 6
Therefore, 6 people ate pecan pie.
To find the number of people who ate pecan pie, we need to multiply the total number of people (24) by the fraction of people who ate pecan pie (1/4).
24 x 1/4 = 6
Therefore, 6 people ate pecan pie.
To solve this problem and find the number of people who ate pecan pie, we need to find the fraction of people who ate pecan pie out of the total number of people.
First, let's calculate the fraction of people who ate pecan pie. We are given that 1/4 of the people ate pecan pie.
Next, let's find the total number of people who attended the Thanksgiving dinner. The problem states that there were 24 people in total.
To find the number of people who ate pecan pie, we need to multiply the fraction of people who ate pecan pie (1/4) by the total number of people (24). This will give us the number of people who ate pecan pie.
Let's do the calculation: (1/4) * 24 = 24/4 = 6.
Therefore, 6 people ate pecan pie.
