What is the largest number of pieces you could cut a pie into with 4 straight cuts of a knife?

This depends on whether the pie is thick or not - if you mean 4 cuts from the top downwards, then you can get nine, if you cut it right. Imagine a clock face. cut 1 - from 1:00 to 5:00 cut 2 - from 11:00 to 7:00 cut 3 - from 10:00 to 2:00 cut 4 - from 8:00 to 4:00 Alternatively, with a thick pie you could make three top-downwards cuts to give six people and one through the middle of the pie, parallel to the plate, to divide each of those pieces in two - giving a total of 12 pieces. (This works when if you're dealing with 'cake' instead of 'pie'.)

What is 18 percent as a whole number?
If every percent could be converted to a whole number, we wouldn't need percent. The smallest whole number is ' 1 '. If you cut up a ' 1 ' into five pieces, 18 percent is smaller than one of the pieces. 18 percent doesn't have what it takes to be even the smallest whole number. There's no way to change 18 percent to a whole number.

Why is one eighth greater than one tenth?
To find the value of a fraction, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). 1/8 equals .125. 1/10 equals .1. The bottom number (denominator) represents how many equal pieces something has been divided up into. For example 1/8 could refer to a cake cut into 8 equal pieces. Now imagine that same cake being cut into 10 equal pieces. the piece 1/10 th is going to be smaller than the piece from the cake cut into 8 pieces.
Is there a number bigger than graham's number?
Yes, there is, but it has no name, for grahams number was and is still the largest number with a name. To make a number larger than grahams number, you just need to make grahams number 1, but it would not have a name because it is not official, and if you try to write it down, you could not, because all matter in the universe transformed into pen ink could not write it down. And if you tried to type it, your computer or whatever you where typing it on would fail.
