Ruben ate 3/4 of 8 slices.
[tex] \frac{3}{4} \times8= \frac{24}{4} =6[/tex]
In words:
The pie became 8 slices in total and Ruben ate three fourths of those 8 slices, so we need to multiply these two amounts, which come out to 6 slices.
In number line:
You need to graph from 0 to 8, and divide every unit into 4 equal parts, since that is the denominator. Then take 24 parts from 0. So you should end at 6.
