Question

Stephen's family had a reunion last weekend. If there are 24 family members and eight apple pies cut into 6 slices what answer choice represents the fraction of one apple pie that each family member received.

A. 1/3
B. 2/3
C. 1/4
D 1/6

Answer 1

The best thing to do is to divide 24 by 6, to find out how many pieces one pie would be split into.
24/6= 4
Therefore, one pie of 4 pieces will be split between 4 people, meaning that each family member will have 1/4 of the pie each.
Hope this helps :)
