  A birthday cake is divided equally between 9 people.

What fraction of the cake does each person have?

$\dashrightarrow\large\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to solve:-}}}}$

$\ast$ Remember, a fraction looks like:-

$\boxed{\frac{\xrightarrow{numerator}x}{\xrightarrow{denominator}{y}}}$

Where:-

• numerator -> number of parts taken
• denominator -> total parts

In this case we divide a cake equally between 9 people, so we divide the cake into 9 parts, and each person gets a part of the cake.

So we have a fraction as follows:-

$\dfrac{?}{9}$

Now, each person gets 1 part. 1 becomes our numerator:-

$\dfrac{1}{9}$

$\uparrow\sf{Our\:Answer}$

Good luck with your studies.

$\rule{300}{1}$

Answer 2

I am pretty sure it is 1/9 because each person gets a piece of the cake and if there are 9 people there are 9 pieces.
