    2 of the 8 slices of pie A were sold (2/8)

    3 of the 6 slices of pie B were sold (3/6)

    Both of these fractions can be simplified

    2/8 - - > 1/4

    3/6 - - > 1/2

    In order to add these two fractions, they must have a common denominator. This can be accomplished by multiplying the second fraction by 2

    1/2 - - > 2/4

    Now we can add the two

    1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4

    Therefore 3/4 of the pie has been sold. In order to find out how much remains, we must subtract the amount that has been sold from the original amount of pie (2)

    2 - 3/4 = 1 1/4 = 1.25
