Question

At the end of the night, a restaurant had 3/4 of a large birthday cake left over. The 5 employees each took home the same amount of leftover cake. How much cake did each employee take home?

Answer 1

3/20

Explanation:

This is a division question.

The equation is 3/4 ÷ 5 or, to simplify this, 3/4 ÷ 5/1.

When you divide fractions you have to flip the second number and multiply the two fractions.

So, you have to do 3/4 x 1/5 which is 3/20.

Thus, the answer is 3/20.
