He will put 5 equal slices on 5 different plates.

Answer: Part of the pie he will put on each plate is given by

[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of equal slices of a lemon pie Darren cut into = 8

His friends ate some of the pie and now [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] is left.

According to question, Darren wants to put each slice of the leftover pie on its own plate.

Since Total slice of lemon = 8

Part of slice is left = 5

Part of the pie he will put on each plate is given by

[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Number of plates he needed is given by

[tex]5\\\\=\beacuse 5\times \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

That means there are 5 persons who will get [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] part of the pie.

Hence, Part of the pie he will put on each plate is given by

[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
