What is the largest number of pieces you could cut a pie into with 6 straight cuts?

As no constraints on the shape or regularity of the resulting pieces are made, making a three by tree line grid on the pie surface would result in 16 separate pieces. Cutting the pie into regular wedges with 6 straight cuts passing through the center would result in 12 pieces.


How do you you cut a cake into 12 pieces?

Well, honey, cutting a cake into 12 pieces is as easy as pie. Just make two cuts to create four equal pieces, then make three more cuts perpendicular to those to create a total of 12 slices. It's not rocket science, just grab a knife and get slicing!


Why is one third greater than one fourth?

When something is cut into equal pieces, (think of a pie), the pieces are larger the fewer pieces there are. If the pie is cut in half, that is an entire HALF of the pie one has to eat. But if the pie is cut into three equal pieces, there are more pieces, but they are smaller. So, one fourth of the pie would be even smaller because you are getting ONE piece of a pie that is cut into FOUR pieces. The bottom number of the fraction is how many equal sized pieces there are, and the top number is how many you are getting.

Which is bigger 4 over 11 or 4 over 6?

If you've bought 4 pieces of pie, then you want it cut into the fewest possible number of pieces. Go to the pie that was cut into only 6 pieces, not the one that was cut into 11 pieces.
