At the Slice of Life Pies, customers.
order fractional pieces of pies     .
instead of whole pies.              .
                                    .
                                    .
To make things even more            .
complicated, there are only         .
fractional pieces of pie in stock.  .
                                    .
                                    .
Your job is to run the pie-cutting  .
machine.                            .
                                    .
                                    .
                                    .
First, you'll choose a piece of pie .
from stock. Then, you'll decide what.
portion of that piece you need to   .
cut to fill the customer's order.   .
                                    .
For example, if a customer ordered  .
1/6 of a pie, you would take 1/3 of .
a pie from stock and cut a 1/2      .
portion of that.                    .
1/3 x 1/2 = 1/6                     .
The customer's order will appear    .
here.                               .
                                    .
                                    .
                                    .
From the stock of pies on the       .
shelves, select the piece you want  .
to begin with and type the size     .
here.                               .
                                    .
Type the fraction of that           .
piece that you want to cut here.    .
                                    .
                                    .
                                    .
The fractional piece of pie that    .
comes out of the machine will be in .
this box. If it isn't the size that .
the customer ordered, you'll have to.
try again.                          .
