Math Problem Statement

Aiden had 3/5 of an apple pie. He gave 3/4 of what he had to his friend Brianna what fraction of the whole pie did Brianna get?

Solution

Aiden had 35\frac{3}{5} of an apple pie. He gave 34\frac{3}{4} of what he had to Brianna. To find out what fraction of the whole pie Brianna received, we multiply the fraction Aiden had by the fraction he gave to Brianna:

35×34=3×35×4=920\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 3}{5 \times 4} = \frac{9}{20}

So, Brianna received 920\frac{9}{20} of the whole pie.
