Answer 2

Answer

Find out the how many one fourth pieces can be made out of the leftover cake .

To proof

Let us assume that the number of one fourth pieces can be made out of the leftover cake be x.

As given

$There\ are\ \frac{6}{8}\ of\ cake\ left\ over\ after\ a\ birthday\ party .$

Than the equation become in the form

$\frac{x\times1}{4} = \frac{6}{8}$

Solving

$x = \frac{6\times 4}{8}$

$x =\frac{6}{2}$

x = 3

Therefore one fourth pieces are 3 made out of the leftover cake .

Hence proved
