Daniel cuts [1 1/2] pies into slices that are 1/8 of a whole pie to serve after dinner. Using your knowledge of dividing and reciprocals, how many slices did Daniel cut?(1 point)
To find the number of slices Daniel cut, we need to divide the total number of pies he cuts by the size of each slice.
Daniel cuts [1 1/2] pies, which is equal to 1 + 1/2 = 3/2 pies.
The size of each slice is 1/8 of a whole pie.
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Reciprocal of 1/8 = 8/1 = 8
Therefore, the number of slices Daniel cut is:
(3/2) * (8) = 24/2 = 12 slices. Answer: \boxed{12}.
