Two identical pies were cut into a total of 16 equal pieces. If one of the resulting pieces was then split equally among three people, what fraction of a pie did each person receive?
A. 148
B. 124
C. 116
D. 316
E. 38
Here,
Two pies are split into
16 equal parts, meaning each individual pie is split into 8 equal parts
and each person receives
18 of the each individual pie
Again, one of the resulting piece was divided equally among 3 people i.e. each of these 3 people receives =
18∗13=124
