six neighbors share 2 pies. how much pie does each neighbor get. 2 each

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're dividing 2 pies among 6 people, so 2/6, or 1/3 or a pie each.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Each neighbor get 1/3 of the pie.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx a bunch

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your welcome(: have anything else you need help with? im your girl if you do(:

OpenStudy (turingtest):

Can we pause to examine your reasoning? If each of 6 neighbor got 2 pies, would that not be a total of 12 pies? You should try to see the problem with your answer in order to better understand the material.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question CLEARLY stated that 6 neighbors SHARED to pies

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol dianna get em

OpenStudy (turingtest):

Yes, I am trying to illustrate that dread56ace is not thinking out the question clearly. There is a logic here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question i not saying that each neighbor got 2 pies. its asking for a fraction because you have to divide only 2 pie between 6 people so what your saying doesn't even make any sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so each neighbor gets two slices of pie(:

OpenStudy (turingtest):

Ok, my first comment was directed at the asker. If you think I do not know that the answer is 1/3 you are not understanding my statement. I noticed dear ask the exact same type of question 3 times in a row, and so am trying to illustrate the general idea, not just give answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you are correct(:

OpenStudy (turingtest):

noticed *dread

OpenStudy (anonymous):

obviously its late and they don't understand it

OpenStudy (turingtest):

Hence I am trying to help them understand. That is the point of this site.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and they are attempting at making an answer in all of their questions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all they needed was reassuring. they came up with the answer themselves. (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought it was two slices each. i dnt understand where u are coming frm wit the twelve turing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

each pie has 12 slices in it. divide 12 by 6. 12 ÷ 6 = 2 therefore each neighbor gets two slices of pie. easier now?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

who said there are 12 slices in each pie?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at their graph that they just made.. then count(:

OpenStudy (turingtest):

The graph was not in the question. The question is asked as I posted, read carefully. The first answer by sir sushi: 1/3 pies per person, is the correct one. If there is more information to the problem, or if it asked how many SLICES per person, then you may be correct. It does not, it asks the number of PIES per person.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If each of 6 neighbor got 2 pies, would that not be a total of 12 pies? from turing

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yes it would

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you said twelve turing dn =t remember

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the whole solution changes within a word or two

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yes, that is how many pies would have to exist in order for dread to be correct, hence their answer is wrong. their are only 2 pies TOTAL six neighbors share 2 pies. how much pie does each neighbor get. 2 each If the second part (after the period) seems to me an attempt at an answer by dread, as they had done in previous problems

OpenStudy (anonymous):

six neighbors share 2 pies. how much piedoes each neighbor get|dw:1327036826929:dw|
