Each whole slice of cake can be divided into _____( 3 halves,1 half,2 halves) so 3 1/2 slices of cake is a total of _____ ( 4 halves,7 halves,9 halves) because each friend gets half a life of cake there are _____ (9,7,4) friends

Answer 1

The blanks should be:
2 halves
7 halves
7 friends

This is because 3 and 1/2 is the same as the improper fraction of 7/2. 

Answer 2

Answer:

Each whole slice of cake can be divided into 2 halves so $3\frac{1}{2}$ slices of cake is a total of 7 halves because each friend gets half a life of cake there are 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A group of friends share $3\frac{1}{2}$  slices of cakes each friend gets half a slice of cake.

To find : How many friends shared the slices of cake ?    

Solution :

According to question,

$3\frac{1}{2}=3+\frac{1}{2}$

i.e. it divided into 2 halves.

$3+\frac{1}{2}=1+1+1+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$

i.e. total $\frac{1}{2}$ slices are 7 halves.

Each friend gets half a life of cake

i.e. there are 7 friends.

Rounding all the statements together,

Each whole slice of cake can be divided into 2 halves so $3\frac{1}{2}$ slices of cake is a total of 7 halves because each friend gets half a life of cake there are 7.
