Cut a pie into equal slices. There are only 3 slices left. The angel measures for the 3 slices is 72 degrees.How many slices was the pie cut into?
An angle and an angel are two different things. This would be a good time to learn the difference.
If you cut a pie into 72 degree equal slices, you make a total of 360/72 = five pieces.
Just how many pieces are left does not affect the answer. They only want to know how many slices were made originally.
This reminds me of "How many angels can stand on the head of a pin?" You must mean angle.
Don't you need a religious leader or text to understand angels?
Do you mean ANGLES?

To determine the number of slices the pie was cut into, we can use the fact that the sum of the angles of a circle is 360 degrees.
First, let's find the measure of one slice. Since there are 3 remaining slices and each slice has an angle measure of 72 degrees, we can multiply 72 by 3 to get the total angle measure for the 3 remaining slices: 72 * 3 = 216 degrees.
Next, we subtract the total angle measure of the 3 remaining slices from the total angle measure of a full circle to find the remaining angles that have already been eaten: 360 - 216 = 144 degrees.
Since each slice is equal in measure, we can divide the remaining angles by the measure of one slice to find the number of slices the pie was originally cut into: 144 / 72 = 2.
Therefore, the pie was initially cut into 2 + 3 = 5 slices.
