Daniel cuts [1 1/2] pies into slices that are 1/8 of a whole pie to serve after dinner. Using your knowledge of dividing and reciprocals, how many slices did Daniel cut?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the number of slices Daniel cut, we need to divide the total number of pies he cuts by the size of each slice.

Daniel cuts [1 1/2] pies, which is equal to 1 + 1/2 = 3/2 pies.
The size of each slice is 1/8 of a whole pie.

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

Reciprocal of 1/8 = 8/1 = 8

Therefore, the number of slices Daniel cut is:

(3/2) * (8) = 24/2 = 12 slices. Answer: \boxed{12}.
