Answer 1

Answer:

The number of  pieces of pie she have is 42 pieces.

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given : A baker has $5\frac{1}{4}$ pies in her shop. She cuts the pies in pieces that are each $\frac{1}{8}$ of a whole pie.

We have to determine the number of  pieces of pie she have.

Since, given the baker has $5\frac{1}{4}$ pies in her shop

Simplify mixed fraction, we have,

$5\frac{1}{4}=\frac{21}{4}$

Also,  She cuts the pies in pieces that are each $\frac{1}{8}$ of a whole pie.

Let the whole pie be represented by x,

Then $\frac{21}{4}=\frac{1}{8} \times x$

Now, Solve for x ,

Multiply both side by 8 , we have,

$\frac{21 \times 8}{4}=\frac{8}{8} \times x$

Simplify, we have,

$x=42$

Thus, The number of  pieces of pie she have is 42 pieces.
