Question

Joel cut a pie into an equal number of pieces. He ate 1/3 of the pie. He was left with 8 pieces of the pie. How many pieces did he cut the pie into?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

he ate 1/3 of the pie and 8 pieces are left

8 pieces = 2/3 of the pie

4 pieces = 1/3 of the pie

12 pieces = 3/3 of the pie

therefore the pie was cut into 12 pieces.
