First you divide it by 2.(2 is an even number). That gives you 8. Divide by 2 again gets you four. Scenario: You cut 16 pieces in half. That gets you two 8 pieces. If you divide each of the 8 pieces in half, then you get four 4s. To make it easier. 4*4=16 2*2*2*2=16
How do you cut a cake into 16 pieces using 5 cuts?
Cut a round cake in eight equal sized wedge shaped pieces with four vertical cuts, then make one horizontal cut through the center of the cake to equal sixteen pieces.It's slightly more tricky if you are only allowed to cut the horizontal cross-section of the cake (treat the cake as a circle). In this case, first divide the cake with one cut (2 pieces), then cut it again so that it intersects the first cut (4 pieces), then cut it a third time so that it intersects both cuts previously made, at different points (7 pieces), then let the fourth cut intersect all three cuts so far at different points (11 pieces), and let the fifth and final cut intersect all four cuts at different points (16 pieces total).

What percent of 45 equals 15?
1/3 or 33.333333....333% of 45 equals 15. The reason this is so is because 45/3 is 15... or there is 15 + 15 + 15 = 45. If you have a full cake that is divided into 45 pieces and 15 pieces of the cake has not been eaten, what percentage of the cake is left? (This sort of idea) A third of the cake has been left because 30/45 or 2/3 of the cake has been eaten, therefore 1(one full cake) - 2/3 (eaten cake) = 1/3(leftover cake).
