@Mertsj Can you help me this is my last one please

mertsj · Answer

They cut the pie into 6 slices.  1/3 of the pie is left because 120/360=1/3 
They would have sold the whole pie for 6 x 2 or 12 dollars.  1/3 of the pie is left.  What is 1/3 of 12?

anonymous · Answer

4 I think ?

Oh no nothing like that.

mertsj · Answer

The corresponding sides do not have the same ratio so they are not similar.
