Question

How much cake will each member of the team get if 6 members share 3/4
of a cake equally?

1 answer

To find out how much cake each member of the team will get, you can divide the amount of cake by the number of members.

You have \( \frac{3}{4} \) of a cake shared by 6 members:

\[ \text{Amount of cake per member} = \frac{3/4}{6} \]

To perform the division, you can multiply by the reciprocal of 6:

\[ \frac{3/4}{6} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3 \times 1}{4 \times 6} = \frac{3}{24} \]

Now simplify \( \frac{3}{24} \):

\[ \frac{3}{24} = \frac{1}{8} \]

Thus, each member of the team will get \( \frac{1}{8} \) of the cake.
