What does 4 fifths look like?
Cut a cake in 5 pieces. Take out 4 pieces. The one piece is a one fifth and the four pieces is the 5 fifths.
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
How many fourths are in four wholes?
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.
A 12 foot rope is cut into two pieces so that one piece is 3 feet less than twice the length of the other piece how long is each piece?
I think 9 and 3... no, its 5 and 7.
Is one fourth smaller than three fourth?
Yes. It is like cutting a pie into four pieces. Three out of four pieces is more than one of those pieces.
What is the minimum number of cuts you need to make to make an 8 pieces of cake?
four
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).
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!
How many one third are there in whole?
There are twelve thirds in four wholes.
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.
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.
How do you cut a square cake into twelve equal parts with four cuts?
Cut the cake lengthwise and then crosswise. Stack the four pieces and then cut crosswise at one third the length and again at two-thirds the length. Done!
