Kamisha bought a strawberry pie that was cut into 4 equal peices. She ate half of one peice. What fraction of the whole pie was left?
1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8
She ate 1/8 of the pie.
1 - 1/8 = ?
To find out what fraction of the whole pie is left, we need to determine the total number of pieces remaining compared to the total number of pieces the pie was originally cut into.
Given that the strawberry pie was cut into 4 equal pieces, we know that the whole pie can be represented by the fraction 4/4, which is equivalent to 1/1.
Since Kamisha ate half of one piece, we can represent this as 1/2 since she ate one-half of a whole piece.
To calculate the fraction of the pie remaining, we subtract the fraction that was consumed from the whole pie:
1 - 1/2
To subtract fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, it's 2, because the denominators are already 2 and 1.
So the equation becomes:
2/2 - 1/2
This equals 1/2.
Therefore, Kamisha has 1/2, or one-half, of the original pie remaining.
