Question

Katie make the cake her brother a 1/8 of the cake her father ate one fourth of the cake and her mother eat 1/8 of the cake how much cake is left

Answer 1

1/2

Explanation:

Well first lets break it down into steps!

We have 1 cake.

Brother ate: 1/8

Mom ate: 1/8

Dad ate: 1/4

Now we know that 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4.

So her brother and mom combined ate 1/4th of the cake.

Her dad also ate 1/4th.

So we have 1 - (1/4) - (1/4) = 2/4 = 1/2.

1/2 of the cake is left.
