Is 2 a bigger denominator than 4?
yes. 1/2 is bigger than 1/4 because if you got 2 pizzas of the same size and cut one in 2 equal pieces and you cut the other in 4 equal pieces, the pizza with 2 equal pieces would have larger pieces than the pizza with 4 equal pieces. do you understand? i hope i helped. ☺
Why is 4 tenths not equal to 4 hundredths?
Imagine that you have a pie. If you cut that pie into 10 equal pieces and take four of them, it will be a lot more pie that if you cut the pie into 100 equal pieces and take four of them. If you cut the pie into 10 pieces, each piece is a tenth of the pie. If you cut the pie into one hundred pieces, each piece will be a hundredth of the pie. You can really only tell which fraction is greater when they have the same denominator. 4/10 = 40/100. That's ten times greater than 4/100
How do you cut a cake into 8 equal pieces in 3 cuts?
This is a trick question. Normally if you wanted to cut a cake into 8 equal pieces you would do so with more than 3 cuts. However, it is possible to do it in 3 cuts if you have a sufficiently long knife. By cutting the cake with two perpendicular cuts you can easily get 4 equal pieces. Then you rearrange these 4 pieces so that they are in a line, with all the pointy ends aligned in the same direction. Then you can cut all four pieces in half with one more cut. But it takes a long knife.Answer:Alternately two perpendicular cuts to make 4 equal pieces and a horizontal cut at the middle of the cake to make it into two equal layers each with 4 equal pieces.But if the cake has frosting on top, then the top pieces can't really be exactly equal to the bottom pieces which won't have frosting on top. Nonetheless, it's a good alternative. And not all cakes are frosted.
How do you cut pie to 8 equal parts in 3 moves?
Cut down the middle, top to bottom. Cut across the middle, side to side. Now you have 4 equal pieces. Put the pieces in a stack, on top of one another and cut down the middle.
This cake is cut into 12 equal pieces 3 pieces are eaten what percentage of the cake is left?

What is one eighth?
Cut an apple into 4 equal pieces. Cut each piece of the apple in half. The 8 pieces you end up with are each one eighth of the apple.
How can you cut a cake into 7 equal pieces making only 3 straight cuts?
1) One vertical cut in half.2) A second vertical cut at 90 degrees to the previous one. You should now have 4 equal pieces.3) Make a cut parallel to the table, halfway through the cake. Like you are slicing a bagel in half or a subway sandwich. Should now have 8 equal pieces.4) Eat one piece!

How many slices pie?
traditionally A PIE IS CUT INTO 8 EQUAL PIECES.
Why Is 4 over 9 greater than 4 over 10?
Because 4 pieces of something that was cut up in 9 pieces is more than 4 pieces of something that was cut up in 10 pieces. If you cut it up in 9 pieces instead of 10, then the pieces are bigger.
What does a quarter of 12 mean?
You start of with a whole pie and if you cut in two equal pieces you have two half pies. If you cut the two half pie pieces in half you end up with 4 equal pieces of the original pie and these are called quarters. So to get a half you divide by 2 To get a quarter you divide by 4 Thus 12/4 = 3 or 4*3=12 Thus a quarter of 12 is 3.
Explain how to cut a cake into 8 pieces with only 3 cuts?
Cut the cake down the center once. Then cut it down the center again at a perpendicular angle from the first cut. Now you have 4 equal size and shape pieces. Take the pieces and line them all up in a row with each center angle point touching the center of the arc of the next slice of cake. Then cut down the center of each piece in one long continuous cut. There you have it. 8 equal size and shape pieces.
