A pie was cut into two equal pieces. Each of the pieces of pie was cut into halves again, and each of those smaller pieces was cut into two equal pieces. If two of the pieces of the pie are eaten, what portion of the pie remains?

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

i believe that is true.

hope my answer has you if not i'm sorry.

the discriminant is 64 + 4*1*12 = 112

this is prime.
