Question

Kyle has 1/2 of a sheet cake. He cut it in 5 pieces of the same size. What fraction of a sheet cake is each piece?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/10

Explanation:

Kyle had 1/2 of a sheet cake.

He then cut this half that he had into 5 pieces of the same size.

The fraction of the sheet cake he has therefore is:

= 1/2 ÷ 5

= 1/2 * 1/5

= 1/10

Each piece was 1/10 of the sheet cake.
