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 answer, we need to divide the total number of pies by the number of slices in each pie.

Daniel cut 1 1/2 pies, which is the same as 1 + 1/2 = 3/2 pies.

Each pie is divided into slices that are 1/8 of a whole pie.

So, to find the number of slices, we can use the reciprocal of 1/8, which is 8/1.

Now we can multiply the number of pies by the number of slices in each pie:

(3/2) * (8/1) = (3 * 8) / (2 * 1) = 24/2 = 12.

Therefore, Daniel cut 12 slices.
