Question

Kaley cut half of a loaf of bread into 4 equal parts. what fraction of the whole loaf does each of the 4 equal parts represent?

Answer 1

`(1)/(8)`

Explanation:

We have,

Kaley cut
`(1)/(2)` loaf of a bread into 4 equal parts.

As, we have that, Kaley cut one whole loaf of bread into half.

This, gives
`(1)/(2)` part of the bread remaining.

Since, she cuts the
`(1)/(2)` of the bread into 4 parts.

So, we get,
`(1/2)/(4)` equal parts of the bread.

i.e.
`(1)/(8)` equal parts of the bread.

Hence, out of the whole parts, the fraction of the parts cut is
`(1)/(8)`.
