Question

Tabitha has 1/2 loaf of bread. If she slice the bread into 9 equal pieces, what fraction of the total loaf of bread will each piece be?

Answer 1

1/18

Explanation:

Total loaf of bread = 1/2

Number of equal slices cut from the loaf = 9

The fraction of total loaf each slice will be :

Total loaf / number of slices

1/2 ÷ 9

1/2 * 1/9

= 1/18

Hence, each slice is 1/18 of the total loaf
