Question

A cookie cake is cut into 8 equal slices Damian eats 1/8 of the cake shontavia eats 1/2 of the cake and Michael eats 2 slices. How many slices of cake remain?

Answer 1

Damian ate 1/8

Shontavia ate 4/8

Michael ate 2/8 of the cake

1/8 + 4/8 + 2/8 = 7/8

All together, those add up to 7/8 therefore, there is 1/8 left of the cake.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

One slice remains

Damian ate: 1/8
Shontavia ate: 4/8
Michael ate: 2/8

Shontavia conversion: 1/2 * 4 = 4/8

1/8 + 4/8 + 2/8 = 7/8
