Question

Christine backed a pumpkin pie. she ate 1/6 of the pie. Her brother ate 1/3 of it and gave the leftovers to his friends. What fraction of the pie did he give to his friends? also with a picture.

Answer 1

Answer: 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: you need to get the fractions to have the same denominator

1/3 = 2/6 and 1/6 = 1/6

Add the two eaten parts together : 2/6+1/6=3/6

Now, subtract the eaten part from the whole pie ( 6/6 or 1 whole)

6/6 - 3/6 = 3/6

So, he gave half of the pie to his friends because.

3/6 is equal to 1/2
