Nelda baked two kinds of pasta in pans. Each pan was the same size. She sliced one pan of pasta into 4 equal pieces. She sliced the other pan into 6 equal pieces. How can the pans of pasta now be sliced so that both pans have the​ same-sized pieces? If Nelda has served 8 pieces from 1 pan so​ far, what fraction of 1 pan has she​ served?

Sagot :

Answer:

6 equal parts;  8 equal parts

Both those will go into 24.

Step-by-step explanation:  Each of six slices of the first pasta has the area 1%2F6 of the entire pan.

Each of eight slices of the second pasta has the area 1%2F8 of the original pan.

Nelda will cut each 1%2F6 in 4 equal pieces to get 1%2F24.

She also will cut each 1%2F8 in 3 equal pieces to get 1%2F24.
