Marcus baked a loaf of banana bread for a party. he cut the loaf into equal size pieces. at the end of the party, there were 6 pieces left. explain how you can find the number of pieces in the whole loaf if marcus told you that 1/3 of the load was left.

1/3 is 6 pieces
whole loaf was 6 pieces *3=18

If you need an equation, it would be y=2x+8, y would be how long it grew, x being weeks.if you need how long he was asleep, it would be 4 weeks if he started with no beard, the equation would be x=8÷2if he did have a beard before hand, the equation would be 2w+x=8
