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:-

• numerator -> number of parts taken
• denominator -> total parts

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)`

Good luck with your studies.

`\rule{300}{1}`

Answer 2

i am pretty sure it is 1/9 because each person gets a piece of the cake and if there are 9 people there are 9 pieces.
