there are six different kinds of fruit pies in a baker. Each pie is the same size and is cut into 8 equal slices. Mr. Javier buys a slice of each pie. How many pies did Mr. Javier buy altogether
6/8 = 3/4 pie
To find out how many pies Mr. Javier bought altogether, we need to determine the total number of slices he obtained and then divide it by the number of slices per pie.
Since there are six different kinds of fruit pies, and each pie is cut into 8 equal slices, Mr. Javier bought 6 x 8 = 48 slices in total.
Since he only bought a slice from each pie, we can conclude that he bought 48 ÷ 8 = 6 pies altogether.
