Knowing that 1 = 8/8
this means 5 = 40/8
1/4 = 2/8
add 40/8 + 2/8 to get 42/8
this means she will have 42 pieces of pie

Answer:
42 pieces of pie a baker have .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
[tex]A\ baker\ has\ 5 \frac{1}{4}\ pies\ in\ her\ shop.[/tex]
i.e
[tex]A\ baker\ has\ \frac{21}{4}\ pies\ in\ her\ shop.[/tex]
[tex]She\ cut\ the\ pies\ in\ pieces\ that\ are\ each\ \frac{1}{8}\ of\ a\ whole\ pie.[/tex]
Than the equation becomes
Let us assume that the number of pieces of pie a baker have = x
[tex]\frac{21}{4} = \frac{1\times x}{8}[/tex]
Simplify the above
[tex]\frac{21\times 8}{4} = x[/tex]
[tex]21\times 2 = x[/tex]
42 = x
Therefore 42 pieces of pie a baker have .
