It depends on how big the cake is. So it is possible. But you would need an awfully large cake. A million is a larger number than it seems. A 12"x16" (30 x 40 x 10 cm) cake contains about 12,000 cm3 of cake. If you divided it into 1,000,000 equal pieces, each would be about 1/80 cm3 (about the size of this letter "o" ) and weigh about 1/200 of a gram. This might be referred to as "one or two crumbs". To get a regular slice of cake (15 x 10 x 1.5 cm), your cake would have to measure 1500 x 1000 x 150 cm, or as big as FIFTEEN large military Humvee's. That's a big cake!
The best way to divide a square cake into 6 pieces would to first cut the cake in half (creating 2 pieces) and cutting each of those 2 pieces into thirds (creating 6 pieces).
If you want it to come out even, cut each piece into thirds. That will give you six pieces. Give each kid two pieces.
With a calculator and a rather small knife. I'm not about to do the math for you, but just do 0.75/9=?
it is 1 because 40 and 40 are congruent
You would have 8 pieces of cake. A: I can make ten pieces.
10 x 10 = 100 inches square divide that by 4 and you get 4 pieces which are 25 inches square each. and each one would be 5 by 5 or 2.5 by 10
87/100 is larger than 13/100. Think of this as you have a (very large) cake cut into 100 pieces. Would you have more cake if you ate 87 pieces of cake or 13 pieces of cake?
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).
No it wouldn't. Try thinking about "how many pieces could you cut a cake into if each slice was zero inches wide?"
spell piece
There are 4 fourths in one whole. Think of a cake cut into 4 pieces. Now imagine 4 cakes, each cake being cut in 4 pieces. There would be a total of 16 pieces of cake.
The most obvious ways are:Cutting the cake parallel to the top, halfway up the height gives two equal pieces (by geometry)Hanging the cake from any point on the edge (frozen to give it some strength) then cutting down from the point it is hung from will divide it in half (by weight)
