no wae kan yu kut eech pie good nuff tu make thangs come out even

Even if yu did, sumwon wood komplaen Jon got a bigger pees

Oenlee hope is tu giv eech half a pie & save the other pie

Answer 2

Okay usually pies are cut with 8 pieces.

You're going to take 5(amount of pies) * 8(slices per pie) to get total of  40.

this is how many pieces. You're going to take 40 and divide by 8 to see how many pieces an individual can have. The answer is 5.

this makes sense because 5*8 is 40 and you divide 8, so you'll get  5. This wouldn't be the case though if the pie was cut only 4 pieces or 7 pieces. Most likely your teacher wants you to assume each pie has 8 pieces
