There are 4 fourths in one whole. Think of a cake cut into 4 pieces. Now imagine 4 cakes, each cake being cut in 4 pieces. There would be a total of 16 pieces of cake.


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).


A cake that is 12 inches long 9 inches wide and 2 inches high is cut into 18 equal pieces what is the volume of each piece?

Total volume of the cake=12*9*2=216 cubic inch. If the cake is cut into 18 equal parts, then each part will be of volume (216/18)=12 cubic inch.


What is greater 13 over 100 or 87 over 100?

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.


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.
