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).
If you have a normal cake What is the maximum number of pieces you can make with only 4 straight cuts?
You would have 8 pieces of cake. A: I can make ten pieces.
How do you divide a circle into eight parts using three straight lines?
You can cut a round cake into eight parts with three cuts, but you can't cut a circle into eight parts with three straight lines.
Cutting a cake into 16 pieces with 5 cuts?
All your cuts will be diameters, which means all the cuts will be straight lines that pass through the center of the cake. Your first cut can be anywhere, as long as it's straight and passes through the center. But to make things easy, make your first cut vertical. You now have two equal pieces. Then rotate the cake 90 degrees and make a second diameter cut. It will be perpendicular to the first cut. You now have four equal pieces. Now, rotate the cake 45 degrees and make a third cut through the center. After doing so, rotate the cake 90 degrees from the last cut and make a fourth cut. You should now have eight equal pieces. By now you should be getting the idea. You have to make four more cuts. Each cut should be through the center and should exactly halve the eight slices. This will produce 16 equal slices. By the way, having the interval is a good way of cutting up a square or rectangular cake, too. Every cut should halve the remaining pieces. You start by cutting the cake in half. Then you cut the halves in half. Then you cut the quarters (halves of halves) in half, and so on.
Given a circle divide it into 8 areas by drawing 3 lines?
If you define line as a straight curve then you cannot. I have seen two other variations though: you can cut a cake or any cylinder into eight pieces with three cuts or you can fold a circle into eight sections.
Can you cut a cake into 9 equal pieces using only 3 cuts?
Lets use a square cake to make the instructions easier. Cut one: Make cut parallel to top of cake giving two cake layers Cut two: Diagonally corner to corner Cut three: Diagonally other corner to corner
What is the largest number of pieces you could cut a pie into with three straight cuts of a knife?
Eight. Use the first two cuts to cut the pie into four pieces, then use the third cut to slice the top from the bottom, doubling the number of pieces to 8.
How do you you cut a cake into 12 pieces?
Well, honey, cutting a cake into 12 pieces is as easy as pie. Just make two cuts to create four equal pieces, then make three more cuts perpendicular to those to create a total of 12 slices. It's not rocket science, just grab a knife and get slicing!
Can you cut a cake into 9 equal pieces using only cuts?
use a cutter
How many times to cut a cubical cake into a maximum of 125 identical piecesif the cake can be cut n times to get minimum of 120 pieces?
In one sense you cannot. The cakes would have a different number of faces which were part of the original faces. To that extent the pieces will not be identical. If such pieces are considered identical, and if the cake pieces can be stacked before cutting, then 9 cuts will suffice. Without stacking, 12 cuts are required. If the cake can be stacked and cut, and a little wastage (less than 2.5%) is pemitted, then 7 cuts will be enough.
What is the minimum number of cuts you need to make to make an 8 pieces of cake?
four
What is the largest number of pieces that can be made with eight straight cuts?
7
