0 Guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Angie had half of 18 oranges. She cut them in halves, then in quarters. How many slices of oranges are there now? She has 36 slices. First, she had 9 oranges. She cut those in half, then into quarters. I assume you mean each orange in now cut into four pieces. 9*4=36 slices.

0 grey cells Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Angie had half of 18 oranges. She cut them in halves, then in quarters. How many slices of oranges are there now? on how one reads the question. If Angie cut the 9 oranges into halves and cut those halves into quarters , then the total number of slices would be 72 . If Angie cut the 9 oranges into halves and further split the halves into half(quarters of original pieces) , then total number of slices would be 36 . I would go with 72.
