 I asked Ms. White if I could go to teacherlink.org a place where you make a fraction and it gives you the percent. She said yes and I went there. =====

=
 When I got there I typed in the fraction 10/12 because there was twelve pieces of pie. At first I thought the fraction would be 10/12 because they ate 10 pieces eaten out of the 12. My answer was 83.33. =====

=
But then I realized we were dividing by sixths because each pie was split into sixths, so then I put the fraction10/6 in. The fraction 10/6 equaled 166.66% and that is my answer. =====

=
Then I realized that my first answer was right because the denominator was 12 because 6+6=12 and the 2 pies where cut into sixths and they were trying to sell 12 pieces. So the is 10/12 and the percent is 83.33. So my instincts were right. =====
