Five families have signed up to bring a pie. If a single serving of pie is 1/6 of the entire pie, how many people will 5 pies serve?

30

Step-by-step explanation:

That means that there are 6 pie pieces in each pie so just multiply by 5

another thing we can do is get rid of 1/6 by multiplying by 6 which means we also have to multiply 5 by 6

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
