To find out how much pie is remaining, we need to add the fractions of the pies that are left.
From the first pie, 1/3 remains.
From the second pie, 5/6 remains.
We can add the two fractions together:
1. Convert 1/3 to a fraction with a denominator of 6:
[
frac{1}{3} = frac{2}{6}
]
2. Now add the fractions:
[
frac{2}{6} + frac{5}{6} = frac{7}{6}
]
3. The fraction 7/6 is equal to 1 1/6 pies.
Now, comparing with the options:
– Less than 1/2 pie
– Less than 1 pie
– More than 1 pie
– More than 1 1/2 pies
Since 1 1/6 is more than 1 pie, the correct answer is More than 1 pie.
