@ganeshie8 I know this should be very easy, but after what I have been doing I cant do this 4th grade work lol

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its a bit tricky indeed :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets start by drawing 3 pies

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

|dw:1395118279097:dw|

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

they have eaten 6/8th of these pies

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

So would I draw 8 slices in each pie?

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats a very good idea! yes!

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Do I shade in 6 out of the 8 slices in each?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

draw 8 slices in each pie, and eat 6 slices in each

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yess..

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Ok... then what?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats it you're done

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

That's in simplest form?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that drawing is the model

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

6/8 + 6/8 + 6/8 3 * 6/8 18/8 9/4

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so they have eaten 9/4 pies

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats the simplest form okay ?

OpenStudy (vshiroky):
