8people serving 2 pies equally how much does each person get

There are 8 people, but only 2 pies. So to figure out how much each person gets when divided, which is a keyword, equally. So to put it in fraction form it would be 2/8. If you simplify it you get 1/4. In decimal form, 2/8 and 1/4 both equal 0.25. Hope this helps you to understand it a bit more!

If there are 8 people serving two pies, there 1/16 because 8*2= 1) so each person would get 1 out of 16. Hoped that helped... make sence biw?!?!

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
