Question

Lisa, Juan and isaac equally shared 1/2 of a cake which fraction of the whole cake did each of them recieve

Answer 1

Answer:

Each will receive $\frac{1}{6}th$ of the cake.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of cake = c

Lisa, Juan and Isaac are the persons who are sharing half of a cake equally.

Number of persons = 3

Part of the cake shared = $\frac{c}{2}$

Fraction of the cake shared by each = $\frac{\text{Amount of cake shared}}{\text{Number of persons who shared}}$

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

                                                             = $\frac{1}{6}c$

Therefore, fraction of total cake shared by each member will be $\frac{1}{6}$ of the total amount of cake.
