Question

There are 8 students who have 3/4 of a cake they want to share. How much of the cake will each student get if they split it evenly?
please help

Answer 1

So there are 8 students, therefore each student gets 1/8 of the cake.

Since only 3/4 of a cake is available, they will each get 1/8 of 3/4.

 We can find this by multiplying 1/8 and 3/4.

To get the answer, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together which gives us:

(1*3)/(8*4) = 3 / 32 = 0.09375

 

So each student only get 3 / 32 of the cake.
