Well, honey, all you gotta do is make two straight cuts—one vertical and one horizontal—right through the middle of the square. Bam, you've got yourself four equal pieces. It's like magic, but with a knife. Just make sure you don't accidentally cut off a finger while you're at it.
Cut the square along a straight line through the center. Then make another straight-line cut through the center perpendicular to the first. If you are actually trying to cut a square piece of paper into smaller squares, fold one pair of opposite edges together and crease resulting fold. Then do the same with the other pair of opposite edges. The two folds will be your guidelines for cutting.
Note that there are other ways to cut the square into four equal pieces, such as cutting it into four rectangles each the full width of the square, but only one quarter as tall.

Are there only 4 ways of cutting a square into equal pieces?
I assume you mean bisecting (1) top-to-bottom, (2) side-to-side, (3) top-left-to-bottom-right, and (4) top-right-to-bottom-left. Actually, any straight line through the center bisects the square into two congruent (!) pieces. So there are an infinite number of ways to cut a square into two equal pieces. A very similar answer would apply if you are trying to cut the square into four equal pieces.
Can you cut a pentagon in 4 equal pieces?
yes
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?
