Samantha mom cuts two peaches into slices that are 1/6 of the whole peach for her and her friends that using your knowledge of dividing in reciprocals how many slices are there

1 answer

To determine how many slices can be made from two peaches when each slice is \( \frac{1}{6} \) of a whole peach, you can follow these steps:

  1. Find the total number of slices in one peach: Since each slice is \( \frac{1}{6} \) of a whole peach, one peach can be sliced into 6 slices.

  2. Calculate the total slices for two peaches: \[ \text{Total slices} = \text{Number of slices per peach} \times \text{Number of peaches} = 6 \times 2 = 12 \]

Therefore, with two peaches cut into slices of \( \frac{1}{6} \) of each peach, there are a total of 12 slices.
