Since Mrs. Smith baked three pies, there are a total of:
3 x 6 = <<3*6=18>>18 slices of pie.
She served 2 1/3 of the pies, which is equivalent to:
2 + 1/3 = 7/3 pies.
To find out how many slices of pie she served, we can multiply the number of pies by the number of slices in each pie:
7/3 x 6 = 42/3 = 14.
Therefore, Mrs. Smith served 14 slices of pie.

To find out how many slices of pie Mrs. Smith served, we need to multiply the number of pies she served by the number of slices in each pie.
The number of pies she served is 2 1/3. To convert the mixed number into a fraction, we add the whole number (2) to the fraction (1/3). This gives us a improper fraction of 7/3.
Now, we multiply the number of pies (7/3) by the number of slices in each pie, which is 6.
(7/3) x 6 = 42/3 = 14.
Therefore, Mrs. Smith served a total of 14 slices of pie.
