A pie was cut into 8 equal slices. If Ruben ate 3/4 of the pie, how many slices did he ate? Explain your answer using a number line and words.

Respuesta :

If Ruben ate 3/4 of the pie, that means that he ate 6/8 of it, because 3/4 = 6/8, that is, he ate 6 of the 8 slices of the pie.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A pie was cut into 8 equal slices. Ruben ate 3/4 of the pie.

We have tell how many slices Ruben ate.

Since a pie was cut in 8 pieces that means 1 piece is 1/8th part of pie.

Since Ruben ate 3/4 of pie that means 6/8 of pie was finished by Ruben.

This clearly says that out of 8 pieces 6 pieces Ruben has eaten.
