a. The number of pies as a mixed number is ¹³/₈ pies.

b. The number of pies as an improper fraction is 1⁵/₈ pies.

a. Number of pies as a mixed number

The number of pies as a mixed number is ¹³/₈ pies.

Since 8 slices equals one pie and there are 13 slices on the counter, the number of pies on the counter is thus 13 slices/8 slices per pie = 13/8 pies

The number of pies as a mixed number is ¹³/₈ pies.

b. Number of pies as an improper fraction

The number of pies as an improper fraction is 1⁵/₈ pies.

Also, since 8 slices equals one pie and there are 13 slices on the counter, the number of pies on the counter is thus 13 slices/8 slices per pie = 13/8 pies

= (8 + 5)/8 pies

= 8/8 + 5/8

= 1 + 5/8

= 1⁵/₈ pies.

So, the number of pies as an improper fraction is 1⁵/₈ pies.
