Lisa makes a cherry pie and an apple pie. She cuts the cherry pie into six equal wedges and she cuts the apple pie into eight equal wedges. How many degrees greater is the measure of a cherry pie wedge than the measure of an apple pie wedge?

Respuesta :

Both the pies at first have 360* as their initial complete angles.

The Cherry Pie is cut into 6 parts equal and the angular width of each piece will be 360/6=60*...therefore, each piece is 60*.

the Apple Pie is cut into 8 parts and the angle of each piece would be 360/8=45*...therefore, each piece is 45*.

Now the angular difference between the pieces of the 2 pies is 60*-45* = 15*.

Therefore the Cherry pie's piece is 15* greater than the Apple pie's piece.

The cherry pie is 15* greater than the apple pie
