Samantha’s mom cuts 2 peaches into slices that are 1/6

Question

of the whole peach for her and her friends to eat. Using your knowledge of dividing and reciprocals, how many slices are there?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find out how many slices can be made from 2 peaches when each slice is \( \frac{1}{6} \) of a whole peach, we can follow these steps:

1. Determine the number of slices from one peach. Each peach can be sliced into 6 pieces since each slice is \( \frac{1}{6} \) of a peach. Therefore, one peach yields 6 slices.

2. Calculate the total number of slices from 2 peaches. Since each peach gives 6 slices, for 2 peaches we multiply:

   \[ 6 \text{ slices/peach} \times 2 \text{ peaches} = 12 \text{ slices} \]

So, there are a total of 12 slices of peaches.
