Question

there is 1/3 of Jamie's bday cake left from her Birth day party. the next day 5 of her friends wanted to share her cake what fraction of the cake can each friend have if they each have a equal share

Answer 1

We have the following:

In this case we must divide the remaining cake into 5 equal parts, which is 1/3 of the original cake, therefore, we must divide:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(3)/5=(1)/(3)/(5)/(1) \\ \text{CrossMultiplication} \\ (1\cdot1)/(3\cdot5)=(1)/(15) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, each friend of Jamie will have 1/15 of the original cake.
