Question

Quinten and his friends cut a peach pie into 12 equal slices and a cherry pie into 8 equal slices. They ate 612 of the peach pie. If they ate the same fraction of the cherry pie, how many slices of the cherry pie did they eat?(1 point)Responses66442288

Answer 1

Quinten and his friends ate \( \frac{6}{12} \) of the peach pie, which simplifies to \( \frac{1}{2} \).

To find out how many slices of the cherry pie they ate, we need to determine \( \frac{1}{2} \) of the cherry pie, which has 8 slices.

So, we calculate:

\[
\frac{1}{2} \times 8 = 4
\]

Therefore, they ate **4 slices** of the cherry pie. The correct response is **4**.
