Question

There was 5/8 of a pie left in the fridge. Daniel are 1/4 of the left over pie. How much of a pie did he eat

Answer 1

vvvv

Explanation:

1. Make it so 1/4 is an eighth so you can subtract it from 5/8.

1/4 x 2 = 2/8

2. Subtract 2/8 from 5/8.

5/8 - 2/8 = 3/8

Daniel ate 2/8s of the left over pie, and there is 3/8s remaining.

Answer 2

Daniel ate
`(5)/(32)` of the pie

Explanation:

There are
`(5)/(8)` of a pie left in the fridge.

Daniel ate
`(1)/(4)` of the left over pie.

Now the part of pie Daniel ate

=
`(1)/(4)` ×
`(5)/(8)`

=
`(5)/(32)`

He ate
`(5)/(32)` part of the pie.
