Question

Lisa, Juan and isaac equally shared 1/2 of a cake which fraction of the whole cake did each of them recieve

Answer 1

Each will receive
`(1)/(6)th` of the cake.

Explanation:

Let the amount of cake = c

Lisa, Juan and Isaac are the persons who are sharing half of a cake equally.

Number of persons = 3

Part of the cake shared =
`(c)/(2)`

Fraction of the cake shared by each =
`\frac{\text{Amount of cake shared}}{\text{Number of persons who shared}}`

=
`((1)/(2)c)/(3)`

=
`(1)/(6)c`

Therefore, fraction of total cake shared by each member will be
`(1)/(6)` of the total amount of cake.
