Jared ate 1/4 of a loaf bread. He cut the rest of loaf into slices. How many slices of bread did he cut?
3 slices because he ate 1 slice ( 1/4) (2/4) (3/4) (4/4) so 3 slices
Answer: He cut 6 slices of bread.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Jared ate \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) of a loaf of bread.
Then , the reaming portion of the bread will be \(1-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{4-1}{3}=\dfrac{3}{4}\).
The size of each slice = \(\dfrac{1}{8}\) of a bread.
N ow , the number of slices he cut the remaining portion =\(\dfrac{3}{4}\div\dfrac{1}{8}\)
\(=\dfrac{3}{4}\times8=6\)
Hence, the number of slices of bread he cut = 6.
