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!
3 right to left and 1 time down the middle towards you
No, 1 third is equal to 3 ninthsNo, it is equal to 2 sixths, or 3 ninths. Think of, or better draw, a cake. Split it into thirds, colour one third in. You have one third of cake. Make the cake into 6 equal slices. There will now be 2 shaded parts. Make the cake into 9, equal pieces. There should be 3 shaded parts.
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).
Cut horizontally, with the plane of the knife parallel to the table, halfway between the table and the top of the cake.
Ok, imagine a cake. If you have 1/3, you cut the cake into 3 equal pieces, and take 1 piece. Now if you have 1/8, you cut the cake into eight equal pieces and take 1. The piece is smaller, so it's less than 1/3. For 1/10, you cut the cake into 10 equal pieces, and take 1. The piece is smaller than the 1/3 piece and 1/8 piece.When it comes to 1/x in fractions, the bigger x is the smaller the fraction is, and vice-versa.
You would have 8 pieces of cake. A: I can make ten pieces.
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.
3/4 or 75% is left. 3/4=75%
cut an "X" on the top of the cake,like you normally would,then cut the cake straight the the middle of the cake if you wer looking at it so its horizantal,and you're like on your knees.....so your basically cutting 4 pieces in a 2 layer cake
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.
The best way to divide a square cake into 6 pieces would to first cut the cake in half (creating 2 pieces) and cutting each of those 2 pieces into thirds (creating 6 pieces).
use a cutter
-- 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.
3 right to left and 1 time down the middle towards you
The most obvious ways are:Cutting the cake parallel to the top, halfway up the height gives two equal pieces (by geometry)Hanging the cake from any point on the edge (frozen to give it some strength) then cutting down from the point it is hung from will divide it in half (by weight)
No, 1 third is equal to 3 ninthsNo, it is equal to 2 sixths, or 3 ninths. Think of, or better draw, a cake. Split it into thirds, colour one third in. You have one third of cake. Make the cake into 6 equal slices. There will now be 2 shaded parts. Make the cake into 9, equal pieces. There should be 3 shaded parts.
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.
