Lisa makes a cherry pie and a apple pie. She cuts the pie into 6 equal wedges and she cuts the apple pie into 8 equal wedges. How many degrees greater is the measure of a cherry pie wedge than the measure of an apple pie wedge?

Step-by-step explanation:

A pie is a circle, which means it has a total of 360 degrees. Cutting a pie equally would mean cutting the total degrees (360) by whatever amount of wedges.

For the Cherry:

360/6=60 degrees

For the Apple:

360/8=45 degrees

Now, try subtracting the degrees for each apple wedge from cherry wedge, and you'll have your answer.
