Question

Kayley cuts half of a loaf of bread into 4 equal parts. What fraction of the whole loaf does each of the 4 parts represent?

Answer 1

It represents 1/8 since when he cut it, it only showed 1/4 of the half, not of the whole loaf of bread. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

1/2 of a loaf of bread is divided into 4 equal parts.


`(1)/(2) / 4 = (1)/(2) * (1)/(4) =(1)/(2*4) =\boxed{\bf{(1)/(8)}}`

Each of the 4 parts represent 1/8 of the whole loaf.
