Question

There are 6/8 of cake left over after a birthday party how many one fourth pieces can be made out of the leftover cake

Answer 1

the answer is three because if you divide .25(1/4) from .75(6/8) you get three.

Answer 2

Find out the how many one fourth pieces can be made out of the leftover cake .

To proof

Let us assume that the number of one fourth pieces can be made out of the leftover cake be x.

As given

`There\ are\ (6)/(8)\ of\ cake\ left\ over\ after\ a\ birthday\ party .`

Than the equation become in the form

`(x*1)/(4) = (6)/(8)`

Solving

`x = (6* 4)/(8)`

`x =(6)/(2)`

x = 3

Therefore one fourth pieces are 3 made out of the leftover cake .

Hence proved
