How much cake would each member of the team get if 6 members share 3/4 of a cake equally?
If 6 members share 3/4 of a cake equally, each member would get 1/6 of that amount of cake.
To calculate the amount of cake each member gets, we divide 3/4 by 6:
(3/4) ÷ 6 = (3/4) × (1/6) = 3/24 = 1/8.
Therefore, each member of the team would get 1/8 of a cake.
To determine how much cake each member of the team would get, we need to divide 3/4 of a cake equally among 6 members.
To do this, we can divide 3/4 by 6.
3/4 divided by 6 can be written as (3/4) ÷ 6.
Let's simplify the division:
3 ÷ 6 = 1/2
4 ÷ 6 = 2/3
So, (3/4) ÷ 6 = (1/2) ÷ (2/3)
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal (or flipped version) of the second fraction.
So, (1/2) ÷ (2/3) can be written as (1/2) * (3/2)
Multiplying the fractions:
1 * 3 = 3
2 * 2 = 4
Therefore, (1/2) * (2/3) = 3/4.
So, each member of the team would get 3/4 of a cake.
