Question

Kaley cut half of a loaf of bread into 4 equal parts. what fraction of the whole loaf does each of the 4 equal parts represent?

Answer 1

The answer is 1/8
1 loaf divided by 2=1/2
1/2 divided by 4=1/8

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Kaley cut $\frac{1}{2}$ loaf of a bread into 4 equal parts.

As, we have that, Kaley cut one whole loaf of bread into half.

This, gives $\frac{1}{2}$ part of the bread remaining.

Since, she cuts the $\frac{1}{2}$  of the bread into 4 parts.

So, we get, $\frac{1/2}{4}$ equal parts of the bread.

i.e. $\frac{1}{8}$ equal parts of the bread.

Hence, out of the whole parts, the fraction of the parts cut is $\frac{1}{8}$.
