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 need to divide the total amount of cake (3/4) by the number of members (6).

So, you can calculate it as follows:

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

Dividing a fraction by a whole number can be done by multiplying the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number:

\[ \text{Amount of cake per member} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3 \times 1}{4 \times 6} = \frac{3}{24} \]

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.
