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 answer, we need to divide the total number of pies by the number of slices in each pie.
Daniel cut 1 1/2 pies, which is the same as 1 + 1/2 = 3/2 pies.
Each pie is divided into slices that are 1/8 of a whole pie.
So, to find the number of slices, we can use the reciprocal of 1/8, which is 8/1.
Now we can multiply the number of pies by the number of slices in each pie:
(3/2) * (8/1) = (3 * 8) / (2 * 1) = 24/2 = 12.
Therefore, Daniel cut 12 slices.
