Answer 1

To find out how many slices of the blueberry pie Hassem and his family ate, we can first determine the fraction of the apple pie that they ate and then apply the same fraction to the blueberry pie.

They ate \( \frac{3}{5} \) of the apple pie. The apple pie is cut into 5 equal slices:

\[ \text{Number of apple pie slices eaten} = \frac{3}{5} \times 5 = 3 \text{ slices} \]

Now we apply the same fraction \( \frac{3}{5} \) to the blueberry pie, which is cut into 10 equal slices:

\[ \text{Number of blueberry pie slices eaten} = \frac{3}{5} \times 10 = 6 \text{ slices} \]

Therefore, they ate 6 slices of the blueberry pie.
