Question

Quinton and his friends cut a peach pie into 12 equal slices and a cherry pie into 8 equal slices they ate 6/12 equal f the peach pie if they ate the same fraction of the cherry pie how many slices did they eat? 6,4,2,8

Answer 1

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

Since they ate the same fraction of the cherry pie, they also ate \( \frac{1}{2} \) of the cherry pie.

The cherry pie has 8 equal slices:
\[
\text{Slices eaten from cherry pie} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 = 4
\]

Now, let's calculate the total number of slices they ate from both pies:
- Slices from peach pie: \( \frac{6}{12} \times 12 = 6 \)
- Slices from cherry pie: 4

Total slices eaten:
\[
6 + 4 = 10
\]

However, since the question asks how many slices they ate from just one pie, the number of slices they ate from the cherry pie is \( \boxed{4} \).
