Eight students. 3/4 of a cake. How much cake will each student get if cake is split evenly?
(3/4) / 8 =
(3/4) * (1/8) = 3/32
3/32
3/32
8/1× 3/4=3/32
Cross multiply 1×3=3
Cross multiply 8×4=32
5 times 2
To find out how much cake each student will get if the cake is split evenly, you need to divide the total amount of cake (3/4) by the number of students (8).
Step 1: Convert the fraction to a decimal
To convert 3/4 to a decimal, divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (4):
3 ÷ 4 = 0.75
Step 2: Divide the total amount of cake by the number of students
Now, divide the decimal equivalent of the fraction (0.75) by the number of students (8):
0.75 ÷ 8 = 0.09375
Therefore, each student will get approximately 0.09375 (or 9.375%) of the cake when it is split evenly.
