Question

Quinton and his friends cut a peach pie into 10 equal
Slices and a cherry pie into 15 equal slices they ate 6/10 of the peach pie if they ate the same fraction of the cherry pie how many slices of the cherry pie did they eat? A. 10 b. 9
C. 12 d. 6

Answer 1

Quinton and his friends ate \( \frac{6}{10} \) of the peach pie.

Now, let's determine how many slices this represents:

The peach pie has 10 slices, and they ate:
\[
\frac{6}{10} \times 10 = 6 \text{ slices of the peach pie.}
\]

Since they ate the same fraction of the cherry pie, we will also find \( \frac{6}{10} \) of the cherry pie. The cherry pie has 15 slices, so:
\[
\frac{6}{10} \times 15 = \frac{6 \times 15}{10} = \frac{90}{10} = 9 \text{ slices of the cherry pie.}
\]

Thus, the number of slices of the cherry pie they ate is \( \boxed{9} \).
