The club made 5 pies. If each pie is cut into 5 slices, and there are now 40 slices after the cafeteria donated, divide 40 by 5, which is 8. Subtract the 3 that the cafeteria donated.

Division the action of separating something into the parts. It is a basic mathematics operation. The number of pies made by the cooking club to sell  at a basketball game to raise money for the  new math books is 2.

Given-

The cafeteria  contributed three pies to the sale.

Each  pie was then cut into five pieces and sold.

There were a total of 40 pieces to sell.

What is division?

Division the action of separating something into the parts. It is a basic mathematics operation.

Total 40 pieces are there to sell. Each  pie was cut into five pieces. Hence the total pie in 40 pieces were,

[tex]=\dfrac{40}{8}[/tex]

[tex]=5[/tex]

Thus total 5 pies was made.

Now as the cafeteria contributed three pies to the sale but we have total 5 pieces was made. For find out the number of pies made by the cooking club we have to subtract the total pies made to the pies contributed by the cafeteria.Thus the number of pies made by the cooking club,

[tex]=5-3[/tex]

[tex]=2[/tex]

Hence the number of pies made by the cooking club  to sell  at a basketball game to raise money for the  new math books is 2.
