Answer 1

To find out how much of the cake each friend ate, we need to divide the amount of cake eaten by the number of friends.

9 friends ate 3/4 of the cake.

To find out how much of the cake each friend ate, we can divide the amount eaten by the number of friends:

(3/4) / 9 = 3/4 * 1/9 = 3/36 = 1/12.

Each friend ate 1/12 of the cake.
