We know that 3 quarters (3/4) of the pie is left after Jeff ate 2 pieces. Therefore, the 2 pieces he ate must have been equal to 1 quarter (1/4) of the pie.
To find out what fraction of the pie each piece is, we can divide the remaining 3/4 of the pie by the number of pieces left. Since we know that Jeff ate 2 pieces, that means there are (1 + 1 + 2) = 4 pieces total.
So, we can calculate the fraction of the pie that each piece represents as:
3/4 remaining portions ÷ 4 total pieces = 3/4 ÷ 4 = 3/16
Therefore, each piece of the pie represents 3/16 of the total pie.

AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
As the bot said,
the 2 pieces he ate must have been equal to 1 quarter (1/4) of the pie.
so each piece is 1/8 of the pie.
