Eight equal size pieces of cake 6 people ate all the pieces how could they have the same amount of cake
8/6 = 1 2/6 = 1 1/3 pieces each
Each person suppose gets one 1/8 big piece and one 1/24 small piece. 1/8+1/24=3/24+1/24=4/24=1/6
To ensure that all 6 people have the same amount of cake, you need to distribute the 8 equal pieces in a fair manner. Here's one way to do it:
1. Start by dividing the 8 pieces into 6 equal groups. Since 8 cannot be evenly divided by 6, each group of 6 people will have 1 piece of cake, and there will be 2 remaining pieces.
2. Now you have 2 extra pieces of cake to distribute among the 6 groups. Divide the remaining 2 pieces equally, giving each of the 6 groups an additional 1/3 piece of cake.
This way, each of the 6 people will end up with 1 full piece of cake, and there will be no partial pieces left.
Alternatively, you could also cut the 8 pieces of cake into smaller, equally sized portions to ensure that each person has the same amount. For example, you could cut each piece in half or into quarters, creating 16 or 32 smaller pieces. Then each person can take an equal number of these smaller pieces to have the same amount of cake.
