Question

Belinda baked 9 pies that weigh 4 1 20 pounds total. How much does each pie weigh?

Answer 1

Answer:

Heya....Here is your answer --

Number of pies = 9

Weight of 9 pies = 20 1/4 = 81/4 pounds

Weight of 1 pie = Weight of 9 pie/number of pies

= 81/4/9

= 81/4 × 1/9 (Reciprocal)

= 9/4 pounds

= 2 1/4 pounds

CHECKING

2 1/4 ×9

= 9/4 ×9

= 81/4

= 20 1/4

CHECKED

CORRECT

So, the weight of 1 pie will be 2 1/4 pounds.
