How can you cut a round cake into 8 equal slices using only 3 cuts?
Takes the CakeHere are the steps involved:Cut from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock (this give you 2 pieces).Cut from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock (this give you 4 pieces).Cut the cake in half horizontally, slicing through all the pieces. Imagine that you were cutting through the whole cake to put icing in the middle (this give you 8 pieces).
How do you cut a cake into 16 pieces using 5 cuts?
Cut a round cake in eight equal sized wedge shaped pieces with four vertical cuts, then make one horizontal cut through the center of the cake to equal sixteen pieces.It's slightly more tricky if you are only allowed to cut the horizontal cross-section of the cake (treat the cake as a circle). In this case, first divide the cake with one cut (2 pieces), then cut it again so that it intersects the first cut (4 pieces), then cut it a third time so that it intersects both cuts previously made, at different points (7 pieces), then let the fourth cut intersect all three cuts so far at different points (11 pieces), and let the fifth and final cut intersect all four cuts at different points (16 pieces total).
How do you cut a cake into 8 equal pieces in 3 cuts?
Well, buttercup, first you slice the cake horizontally into two equal halves. Then you stack those halves and make a vertical slice down the middle, giving you four equal quarters. Finally, you stack those quarters and make one more vertical slice down the middle, giving you eight equal pieces. Voilà, you've got yourself a perfectly sliced cake in just three cuts.
Cutting a cake into 16 pieces with 5 cuts?
You can cut a cake into 16 pieces with 5 cuts by first making a cross-shaped cut dividing the cake into four equal pieces, then cut each of the four pieces in half horizontally and vertically with the last cut.
If you have a normal cake What is the maximum number of pieces you can make with only 4 straight cuts?
You would have 8 pieces of cake. A: I can make ten pieces.
How can you cut a rectangular cake into 8 equal parts with only 3 cuts?
-- Adjust the direction of the knife so that it's parallel to the length of the cake,and cut (1) the cake down the middle ... 2 equal pieces.-- Turn the knife 90 degrees so that it's parallel to the width of the cake,and cut (2) the cake down the middle ... 4 equal pieces.-- Stack the 4 equal pieces in an even stack, so that their edges all line up.Cut (3) the stack in two equal pieces, either length-wise, width-wise, oralong either diagonal ... 8 equal pieces.Alternate method for any one of the cuts described above, (1) or (2) or (3):-- Turn the knife so that the blade is parallel to the cake-board and half ofthe height of the cake above the board. Slice through the height of the cake,keeping the knife parallel to the cake's bottom surface, to its top surface andto the cake-board, cutting the whole cake into an upper layer and a lower layerof equal thickness.
How do you you cut a cake into 12 pieces?
Well, honey, cutting a cake into 12 pieces is as easy as pie. Just make two cuts to create four equal pieces, then make three more cuts perpendicular to those to create a total of 12 slices. It's not rocket science, just grab a knife and get slicing!
Can you cut a cake into 9 equal pieces using only 3 cuts?
Lets use a square cake to make the instructions easier. Cut one: Make cut parallel to top of cake giving two cake layers Cut two: Diagonally corner to corner Cut three: Diagonally other corner to corner
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.
How do you cut a square cake into twelve equal parts with four cuts?
Cut the cake lengthwise and then crosswise. Stack the four pieces and then cut crosswise at one third the length and again at two-thirds the length. Done!
How many times to cut a cubical cake into a maximum of 125 identical piecesif the cake can be cut n times to get minimum of 120 pieces?
In one sense you cannot. The cakes would have a different number of faces which were part of the original faces. To that extent the pieces will not be identical. If such pieces are considered identical, and if the cake pieces can be stacked before cutting, then 9 cuts will suffice. Without stacking, 12 cuts are required. If the cake can be stacked and cut, and a little wastage (less than 2.5%) is pemitted, then 7 cuts will be enough.
What is the minimum number of cuts you need to make to make an 8 pieces of cake?
