suppose she cut the cake into 8 equal size pieces and 6 people at all the pieces. Explain how they could have divided the pieces so that everyone ate the same amount of cake. You can show your work in a drawing.
Cannot draw here. Each person got 1 1/3 pieces.
I Don't no and Im fiFt grade
To divide the cake into 8 equal size pieces and ensure that 6 people eat the same amount, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Start by drawing a circle to represent the whole cake.
Step 2: Divide the circle into 8 equal sections or slices. To do this, draw straight lines from the center of the circle to the edge, creating eight equal angles.
Step 3: Label each section with numbers 1 to 8 to represent the pieces.
Step 4: Now, to ensure that everyone eats the same amount of cake, we will have to divide each piece further so that there are smaller portions.
Step 5: Divide each numbered section into three smaller portions by drawing two additional lines within each section. This will result in three equal-sized sub-sections within each numbered piece (except for the last piece, which will have two sub-sections).
Step 6: Assign each person a specific sub-section within each numbered piece. Start with person 1 and continue in order until person 6 is assigned to the respective sub-sections.
By following these steps, you will have divided the cake into 8 equal pieces, with each person having the same amount of cake assigned to them.
Please note that the drawing might be difficult to display here, so I suggest creating the diagram on a piece of paper or using a drawing tool for a clearer visualization.
