Given that a piece of pie costs 0.10 cent0.10 \space\text{cent},

We first need to know the pieces of pie in 1 cent,1\space\text{cent}, thus, we divide 1 cent1\space\text{cent} by .10 cent.10\space\text{cent}.

Thus, we have,

1 cent.10 cent=10 pieces of pie\dfrac{1\space\text{cent}}{.10\space\text{cent}}=10\space\text{pieces of pie}
