Question

Kevin has 1/2 of a loaf of bread. He cuts the bread into four slices. What fraction of the original loaf of bread is each slice?

Answer 1

1/8

Explanation:

This bread as we originally know from this question is already half. Which is 1/2.

Now this half bread is to be divided into 4 pieces.

= (1/2)/4

1/2 divided by 4 is equal to 1/2 x 1/4

= 1/8

Therefore the fraction of the original loaf of bread which is each slice is equal to 1/8.
