What is the total amount of Luis' pies that were left over?

2 1/4 pies

Step-by-step explanation:

Find out how much pie was leftover from each pie:

Apple pie: 3/4, 4 - 3 = 1, 1/4

Blackberry: 1/2, 2 - 1 = 1, 1/2

Blueberry: 1/8, 8 - 1 = 7, 7/8

Cherry: 5/8, 8 - 5 = 3, 3/8

Peach: 3/4, 4 - 3 = 1, 1/4

There are 1/4, 1/2, 7/8, 3/8, and 1/4 pies left. The LCD if these numbers is 8, since 2*4 = 8, 4*2 = 8, and 8*1 = 8

1/4 = 2/8

1/2 = 4/8

7/8 = 7/8

3/8 = 3/8

1/4 = 2/8

2 + 4 + 7 + 3 + 2 = 18, so 18/8 pies, or 2 2/8, or 2 1/4

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
