James buys 14 apple pies. He gives 5 apple pie to his family and cuts the rest into equal slices to give to his friends. If each slice is 1/6 of a pie, how many slices of apple pie does he give to his family?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The number of slice of apple pie gave to his friend = [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex]    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total apple pies bought by James = 14

The number of apple pie given to family = 5

So, The number of pie given to his friends = 14 - 5 = 9

Let the pie given to friends is cut into equal slices = x

So, x = [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of 14

Or, x =  [tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex]

∵ From 14 apple pie, the number of slices make is  [tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex]

∴ From 5 apple pie, the number of slices make is [tex](\frac{7\times 5}{3\times 14})[/tex]

Hence The number of slice of apple pie gave to his friend = [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex]     Answer
