Claire cut some apples into eighths. She and her friends are all but 17 pieces. How many whole apples and parts of apples did she have leftover? Explain how you know.

She had two whole a apples and 1 part of an apple left.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the answer has one word wrong, "She and her friends ate all but 17 pieces".

To answer this question we have to divide the number of pieces that Claire cut (17) by the number 8 (the number of pieces that each apple has).  

Mathematically speaking  

17/8 = 2 1/8  

She cut each apple in 8 pieces. If we multiply 8 by 2 we obtain 16 (pieces ).  

16 pieces are equal to 2 whole apples. She and her friends are all but 17 pieces, so 1 piece more equals to 17 pieces.

She had two whole a apples and 1 part of an apple left.
