To write the number of pies left over as a fraction greater than 1, we need to convert the mixed number (2 2/6) to an improper fraction.
First, multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator of the fraction (6), and then add the numerator (2), which gives us: 2 × 6 + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14.
Next, the denominator remains the same, which is 6.
So, the mixed number 2 2/6 is equal to the improper fraction 14/6.
Since 14/6 is greater than 1, that can be the answer.
