A birthday cake is divided equally between 9 people.

What fraction of the cake does each person have?

$\dashrightarrow\large\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to solve:-}}}}$

$\ast$ Remember, a fraction looks like:-

$\boxed{\frac{\xrightarrow{numerator}x}{\xrightarrow{denominator}{y}}}$

Where:-

In this case we divide a cake equally between 9 people, so we divide the cake into 9 parts, and each person gets a part of the cake.

So we have a fraction as follows:-

(?)/(9)

Now, each person gets 1 part. 1 becomes our numerator:-

(1)/(9)
