3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
If you cut a whole pie into two you get two (2) ½ pieces
1 ÷ 2 = ½
When you cut the two ½ pieces into two you get four (4) ¼ pieces;
½ ÷ 2 = ¼
When you cut the four ¼ pieces into two you get 8 1/8 pieces;
¼ ÷ 2 = ¹/8
Therefore the whole pie at this point is made up of 8 ¹/8 pieces. When two (2) of these pieces are eaten we are left with 6 ¹/8 pieces;
8 – 2 = 6
The portion of the pie left therefore is;
6 * ¹/8 pieces
= ⁶/8
= ³/4
