Question

tabitha has 1/2 loaf of bread she need to slices in 9 equal pieces, what fraction of the total loaf of bread will each piece be?

Answer 1

Data:

Total loaf of bread : 1/2

Slices: 9

To find what fraction of the total loaf of bread will be each piece you divide into 9 the 1/2 loaf of bread:

Division of fractions:

`((a)/(b))/((c)/(d))=(a\cdot d)/(b\cdot c)`

Then:

`((1)/(2))/((9)/(1))=(1\cdot1)/(9\cdot2)=(1)/(18)`Each piece will be 1/18 of the 1/2 loaf of bread Tabitha has.
