At sallys birthday party her birthday cake was cut into 20 pieces if 11 pieces were left what percentage was eaten?
45%
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).

How do you cut a cake into 8 equal pieces in 3 cuts?
This is a trick question. Normally if you wanted to cut a cake into 8 equal pieces you would do so with more than 3 cuts. However, it is possible to do it in 3 cuts if you have a sufficiently long knife. By cutting the cake with two perpendicular cuts you can easily get 4 equal pieces. Then you rearrange these 4 pieces so that they are in a line, with all the pointy ends aligned in the same direction. Then you can cut all four pieces in half with one more cut. But it takes a long knife.Answer:Alternately two perpendicular cuts to make 4 equal pieces and a horizontal cut at the middle of the cake to make it into two equal layers each with 4 equal pieces.But if the cake has frosting on top, then the top pieces can't really be exactly equal to the bottom pieces which won't have frosting on top. Nonetheless, it's a good alternative. And not all cakes are frosted.

How can you cut a rectangular cake into 8 equal parts with only 3 cuts?
-- Adjust the direction of the knife so that it's parallel to the length of the cake,and cut (1) the cake down the middle ... 2 equal pieces.-- Turn the knife 90 degrees so that it's parallel to the width of the cake,and cut (2) the cake down the middle ... 4 equal pieces.-- Stack the 4 equal pieces in an even stack, so that their edges all line up.Cut (3) the stack in two equal pieces, either length-wise, width-wise, oralong either diagonal ... 8 equal pieces.Alternate method for any one of the cuts described above, (1) or (2) or (3):-- Turn the knife so that the blade is parallel to the cake-board and half ofthe height of the cake above the board. Slice through the height of the cake,keeping the knife parallel to the cake's bottom surface, to its top surface andto the cake-board, cutting the whole cake into an upper layer and a lower layerof equal thickness.
Is 1 third equal to 2 ninths?
No, 1 third is equal to 3 ninthsNo, it is equal to 2 sixths, or 3 ninths. Think of, or better draw, a cake. Split it into thirds, colour one third in. You have one third of cake.

Explain how to cut a cake into 8 pieces with only 3 cuts?
Cut the cake down the center once. Then cut it down the center again at a perpendicular angle from the first cut. Now you have 4 equal size and shape pieces. Take the pieces and line them all up in a row with each center angle point touching the center of the arc of the next slice of cake. Then cut down the center of each piece in one long continuous cut. There you have it. 8 equal size and shape pieces.
One half of one eighth is?
One Sixteenth. If a cake is cut into 8 equal pieces each piece is one-eighth of the cake.If you now cut each of those 8 pieces of cake into two you would now have 16 pieces, each one being one-sixteenth of the whole cake.
Why is one eighth greater than one tenth?
To find the value of a fraction, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). 1/8 equals .125. 1/10 equals .1. The bottom number (denominator) represents how many equal pieces something has been divided up into. For example 1/8 could refer to a cake cut into 8 equal pieces. Now imagine that same cake being cut into 10 equal pieces. the piece 1/10 th is going to be smaller than the piece from the cake cut into 8 pieces.
