Question

Answer 1

ans-3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

5/8-1/4 LCM of 8 and 4 is 8 1/4*2/2 - 2/8 and 5/8 * 1/1 - 5/8 ans - 5/8-1/8 equals to 3/8 ans - he ate 3/8 of the pie

Answer 2

Given: There was 5/8 of a pie left in the fridge. Daniel ate 1/4 of the leftover pie.

To find: The amount of a pie he had.

Solution:

Since the question says 5/8 of a pie was left, it means that if the whole pie was divided into 8 parts, 5 parts out of the 8 were left. The amount of a pie eaten by Daniel can be calculated by finding the value of 1/4 th of 5/8 th.

$\frac{1}{4} * \frac{5}{8} = \frac{5}{32}$

So, Daniel had 5/32 of a pie. This means that if the whole pie was divided into 32 equal parts, Daniel had 5 parts of the 32.

Therefore, Daniel had 5/32 of a pie.
