3/24=

1/8 is the answer.
Each person took home 1/8 of the pie

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that you have 3/4 of a pie left over after your party. Each guest takes home one sixth of the leftover pie.

To find the fraction of the original pie that each guest took home, we will find 1/6 of 3/4.

To find 1/6 of 3/4, we will multiply both quantities as:

[tex]\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3\times 1}{4\times 6}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1\times 1}{4\times 2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, each guest took [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] of the original pie to home.
