A baker cut a pie in thirds. He cut each third into 4 equal pieces and each piece into 2 equal slices. He sold 14 slices.

What fraction of the pie did the baker sell?

The baker sold

of the pie.

He sold 7/8 of pie.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pie cut in thirds = 3 pieces

Each of this 3 pieces is cut into 4 equal pieces, which equals

3 x 4= 12 pieces of cut pie.

Each of this piece is cut into 2 equal slices,

which equals 12 x 2= 24 slices of pie.

If he sold 14 slices, then the fraction sold is

14/24 = 7/8

He sold 7/8 of pie.
