How can you cut a pizza into 29 pieces with 7 straight cuts?
Cut a pizza into 2 using one straight cut. Stack the pieces and make a straight cut: you now have 22 = 4 pieces from 2 cuts. Stack these and make a straight cut: you now have 23 = 8 pieces from 3 cuts. Continue. After 7 cuts you can have 27 = 128 pieces. You can reduce the number of pieces to 29 if, after the fourth cut, you stack and cut only 11 pieces and thereafter cut just one each time. There are other options which give the same result.
How do you divide a circle in equal pieces?
Starting at one point of the circle, draw a straight line through the center of the circle to the other side. This line is called a diameter. It will divide the circle into 2 equal pieces.Now, if you want to divide the circle into any number N of equal pieces, follow these steps in orderdivide the diameter into N equal segments,from one endpoint of the diameter, draw half circles towards every endpoint of the equal segments,flip the circle,from the other endpoint of the diameter, draw again half circles towards every endpoint of the equal segment (but now filling the other side of the circle).The resulting parts of the circle have equal area.
What is bigger one half or three thirteen?
1/2 If you want to figure this out on your own just draw a circle and cut it in to the pieces from the bottom number (like a pizza) then shade in the top number. e.g. your circle has 13 slices and you shade 3 your other circle is cut in two pieces and half is colored in. This works with large discrepancies like this problem but you would need something more exact for fractions that are closer together.
