Cameron baked 3 apple pies for Thanksgiving dinner. There were 16 people over at the house, including Cameron. Each person ate the same amount of apple pie, and all of the pie was eaten.

How much pie did each person eat?

To find out how much pie each person ate, we need to divide the total amount of pie by the number of people eating.

Cameron baked 3 apple pies, and there were 16 people, including Cameron.

Each person ate:

\[
\text{Amount of pie each person ate} = \frac{3 \, \text{pies}}{16 \, \text{people}} = 0.1875 \, \text{pies per person}
\]

So, each person ate \( \frac{3}{16} \) of a pie, or 0.1875 pies.
