Question

Gain and his three friends want to share 1/3 of a cake equally. Gavin says that each friend will get 1/9 of the cake. Use the drop-down menus to explain wether or not Gavin is correct.

Answer 1

Gavin is incorrect. To find how much cake each person gets, divide 1/3 by 4 or multiply 1/3 by one-fourth. Therefore, each of the friends gets one-twelfth of the cake.

Good Luck!
