Amalia bought 14 pies of the same size. She gave and equal amount of the pies to her 9 friends. How many pies did she give to each of her friends? Express your answer as a mixed number.

Answer 1

To find out how many pies each of Amalia's 9 friends received, we need to divide the total number of pies by the number of friends.

Amalia has 14 pies and she wants to give them to her 9 friends equally, so we do the division:

14 pies ÷ 9 friends = 1 5/9 pies per friend

This means that each of Amalia's 9 friends received 1 5/9 pies.
