Cut top to bottom, left to right, then horizonatally to make two layers.
To cut a doughnut into eight equal pieces with three cuts, start by making the first cut horizontally through the center, which will create two equal halves. Next, make a vertical cut down the center, intersecting the first cut, resulting in four equal quarters. Finally, make a third cut horizontally again, but this time through the middle of the doughnut's height, which will divide each of the four quarters into two equal pieces, yielding a total of eight equal pieces.
Eight eighths of an apple pie!Eight eighths of an apple pie!Eight eighths of an apple pie!Eight eighths of an apple pie!
If the vendor cut the pineapples into eights, and after selling 27 pieces he had 13 pieces left, then he sold 27 + 13 = 40 pieces in total. Since each pineapple was cut into 8 pieces, the number of pineapples cut would be 40 pieces / 8 pieces per pineapple = 5 pineapples. Therefore, the vendor cut 5 pineapples.
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).
No.
It is not possible to cut a pie into seven pieces of equal area. Eight pieces and six pieces can both readily be done.
Five. Anything cut into fifths will produce five pieces.
During the minting process, pieces of eight were cut from a silver coin blank using a cutting press or a hand-operated cutting tool. The blanks were placed on a die, and a sharp blade was pressed down to cut the coin into smaller pieces.
Cut top to bottom, left to right, then horizonatally to make two layers.
Eight. Use the first two cuts to cut the pie into four pieces, then use the third cut to slice the top from the bottom, doubling the number of pieces to 8.
Cut each pie into eight pieces (cut in half, turn 1/4 turn, cut in half again, turn 1/8th turn, cut in half, turn 1/4 turn, and cut in half). Then, give each person five pieces.
Typically, a pie is cut into 6 pieces but 8 is easier. A pie of firmer consistency, like custard, stands up better when cut into 8 pieces.
Nope. Think of it this way. Which is bigger, a piece from a pie cut into eight pieces, or a piece cut from a pie that was cut into five pieces?
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
Cutting a diameter four time will get you eight pieces of pie, not seven. You cannot get 7 pieces by cutting diameters only; for that you need to cut radii.
A 40 cm piece of string can be cut into eight 5 cm pieces.
