If you divide it into forths, and then cut each piece into half, you have 1/8 or an eight

Each resultant piece represents one-eighth of the original pie.

Each piece = [tex]\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex] of original pie

Given that:

  • Nasir cut the pie in 4 pieces.
  • Then he further cuts each piece in half.

Calculation for  fraction representation of each piece:

[tex]\text{1 pie = 4 pieces.}\\\text{Each one of 4 pieces = 2 more small pieces of pie.}[/tex]

Thus,

[tex]\text{1 pie = 4 pieces}\\\\ \text{1 pie = 4} \times \text{(2) smaller pieces of pie}}\\\\\text{1 pie = 8 smaller pieces of pie}\\\\\dfrac{1}{8} \: \rm pie = \: \text{1 smaller piece of pie}\\[/tex]

Thus, each resultant piece represents one-eighth of the original pie.

Each piece = [tex]\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex] of original pie
