Respuesta :
after the party 2 1/2 pies were left. but less than 3.
3 - (2 1/2) = 1/2
3 pies minus 2 1/2 is equal to .5 or 1/2 pies
3 - (2 1/2) = 1/2
3 pies minus 2 1/2 is equal to .5 or 1/2 pies
Hmm. I'm not so sure, but maybe 2 3/4. You can layout the numbers like 2, 2 1/4, 2 2/4, 2 3/4, 2 4/4 of 3. 2 2/4 can be simplified into 2 1/2 and 2 3/4 is definitely larger than 2 1/2 and less than 3. :)
