If one quarter of a pie is blueberries and the rest is strawberries then If you serve 12 slices from 1 pie how many slices will be all blueberries?

It depends on how many slices are in the pie. If you cut the pie into 24 pieces, 12 slices will be half the pie, which will leave 12 slices, 6 could be blueberry and six could be strawberry. If there are a total of 12 slices in the pie, the three of the slices will be blueberry.
