At Mariah's birthday party, 9 of her friends ate 3/4 of her chocolate cake. How much of the cake did each friend eat?
To find out how much cake each friend ate, divide the amount eaten by the number of friends: 3/4 / 9 = 1/4.45 = 1/0.11111...
Each friend ate 1/10 slices of cake. Answer: \boxed{\dfrac{1}{10}}.
my choices are
12
6 3/4
1/9
1/12
Based on the problem statement, 9 friends ate 3/4 of Mariah's chocolate cake. Therefore, each friend ate 3/4 divided by 9.
To find this answer, we can divide 3/4 by 9:
(3/4) ÷ 9 = 3/4 * 1/9 = 3/36 = 1/12.
So, each friend ate 1/12 of the cake.
Therefore, the correct answer choice is 1/12.
To find out how much of the cake each friend ate, we can divide the total amount of cake eaten by the number of friends. In this case, 9 friends ate 3/4 of the cake.
To calculate this, we need to multiply the fraction by the total amount of cake. Since the fraction is 3/4 and we don't have the actual total amount, we can assume it as a whole number like 1. So, we'll calculate (3/4) * 1.
(3/4) * 1 = 3/4
So, each friend ate 3/4 of the cake.
