To find the fraction of the cake that was eaten, we need to divide the number of slices eaten by the total number of slices:
32 slices eaten out of 40 total slices:
32/40
To reduce this fraction to lowest terms, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 8:
32/40 รท 8/8
4/5
Therefore, the fraction representing the eaten portion of the cake is 4/5.
