Question

Jamie has a half-sheet cake. If she has six friends, how much will each one get?

A. 1/4
B. 1/12
C. 1/3
D. 1/6

Answer 1

The answer is

B. 1/12

Explanation:

step one:

From the problem state, we can actually conclude that Jamie wants to share the half sheet of cake among her 6 friends

step two:

we can express this problem mathematically as

`=(1)/((2)/(6) )`

we can inverse the denominator and use a multiplication sign instead

`\\\\= (1)/(2)*(1)/(6)`

multiplying both denominators we have

`\\\\= (1)/(12)`

The answer is B 1/12
