Question

There will be 6 people at ellies pie party she wants to bake enough pie so each person can eat at least 1/5 of pie what is the minimum number of pies ellie should bake?

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

She needs to have 6 portions of 1/5 pie size.

6 portions of 1/5 pie size is 6/5 of a pie.

6/5 of a pie is the same as 1 1/5 (one and one-fifth) pies.

Since she only bakes full pies, she must round up to the next higher whole number, so she must bake 2 pies.
