Sven made a single gigantic pie then cut it into 12 pieces Seven people each had one slice leaving 5 slices the next day Sven eat 2/3 of the remaining slices what fraction of the original pie was left

Respuesta :

Answer: The fraction of the original pie that is left is 5/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Sven made a single gigantic. It is assumed to be 1.

Sven cut the pie into 12 pieces. It means that each piece is 1/12 of the pie. Seven people each had one slice. This means that the fraction of the pie that the 7 people had is

7 × 1/12 = 7/12

They left 5 slices. This is 5/12 of the full pie. The next day, Sven eat 2/3 of the remaining slices. This is expressed as

2/3 × 5/12 = 5/18

The fraction of the original pie that is left

5/12 - 5/18 = (90 - 60)/216

= 30/216 = 5/36
