Question

A pie was cut into 8 equal slices if Ruben ate 3/4 of the pie how many slices did he eat

Answer 1

We know there are 8 equal slices. There are 4 parts to the pie.
8 ÷ 4 = 2
We now know each part of the pie has 2 slices
Ruben ate 3/4 of the slices so,
2 x 3 = 6
6 is your numerator (top) (standing for how much Ruben ate)
8 is your denominator (bottom) (standing for total slices)
6 slices was eaten by Ruben
If you want to check your work, divide the numerator and denominator by 2 - since there are 2 equal slices per part
6 ÷ 2 = 3
8 ÷ 2 = 4
3/4 of the pie has been eaten

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to answer this, Im sorry I could not give the attachment, but,

here are the steps to draw the number line:

1. first, we represent the 8 slices as numbers - till 8.

2. then, we cut it into 4 equal parts: 2

numbers in each.

3. now, we draw an arrow from 0 to 6, representing the subtraction of 3/4 x 8 from 8.

4. now, we count backwards from 8 till 6, this shows that there are 2 numbers (representing 2 slices) left.
