Answer:
The answer is "She cut a total of 42 pieces of pie".
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Total pie= [tex]5 \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
cut pie = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
The number of pieces of the pie she has=?
Solve the mixed fraction value:
[tex]\to 5 \frac{1}{4}= \frac{21}{4}[/tex]
If she cuts the pieces into the entire pie, that is = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
So, the equation is:
[tex]\to \frac{21}{4} = \frac{1}{8} \times x[/tex]
[tex]\to x= \frac{21 \times 8}{4}\\\\ \to x= 21 \times 2\\\\ \to x=42[/tex]
