Question

Zara is serving a fresh pie. She starts by cutting the pit in half, and then cuts each half into 4 equal pieces. What fraction of the whole pie is each piece?

A. 1/2
B. 1/4
C. 1/8

Answer 1

Answer: Option C.

Explanation:

1/4 divided by 1/8 = 2 times 1/8 = 1/4

Then.. you can just multiply both factors and get your answer 1/8?

Answer 2

C.

If each 1/2 is cut in 4 than you would have to multiply that by 2 because it's only half. Then since you're finding what fraction is it you would put a 1 on top and say 1/8.
