Pumpkin pie

Have some pumpkin pie. One half of the pie is cut into 4 equal slices, the other half is cut into 3 equal slices. After eating one of the larger slices (on the 3 piece side), I wonder if I will eat more if I have one more from the 3 side, or two from the 4 side…

Correct answer:

e₁ =  1/6
e₂ =  1/4
x =  4

Step-by-step explanation:

$e_1=\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{6}=0.1667$

$e_2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25$

$$\begin{gathered} e_2>e_1 \\ x=4 \end{gathered}$$
