taylor baked a cake to serve after dinner.
suppose she cut the cake into 8 equal size pieces and 6 people ate all the pieces. explain how they could have didided the pieces so that everyone ate the same amount of cake. you may show you work in a drawing.
The problem is how the question is worded is not physically possible to do with 1 cake and 8 EQUAL pieces. Stupid common core math is ridiculous.
8/6 = 1 1/3 Slice per person.
So you give each person 1 slice. Then,
cut each of the remaining 2 slices into 3 pieces. Then give each person 1 piece.
