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.
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.
How meany pieces do you cut a pie into if you bisect it?

How do you spell the word pieces-like pieces of pie or cake?

Which is bigger 4 over 11 or 4 over 6?

A pie can be cut into more than seven pieces by making four diameter cuts?
Four diameter cuts, if none of them are the same, will always cut a pie into 8 pieces.
What is the largest number of pieces you could cut a pie into with three straight cuts of a knife?
Eight. Use the first two cuts to cut the pie into four pieces, then use the third cut to slice the top from the bottom, doubling the number of pieces to 8.

Can you make sentence with about?
about how many pieces of pie did you eat? what about the rest of the year ?!
What is a faction less then one?
1/3 is a fraction less than one, because 3/3 is a whole. You only have 1 of the the 3 that is needed to make a whole. Think of pie (the kind you eat); you have 4 pieces of pie, then someone eats 2 pieces. How many pieces of pie do you have? 2 pieces! So you have 2 pieces of pie out of the 4 you originlly had. 2/4 of the pie is left. Does this help?
How can you cut a pie with 3 straight cuts into 8 pieces?
Well let's see. . . Step 1. cut the pie in half. Step 2. place one half on top of the other half. Step 3. make a second cut to both halves at the same time leghtwise. Step 4. make a third cut perpendicular to the last cut. you end up with 8 pieces and you only made 3 cuts. OR Just cut it 4 times
What is the largest number of pieces you could cut a pie into with 4 straight cuts of a knife?
This depends on whether the pie is thick or not - if you mean 4 cuts from the top downwards, then you can get nine, if you cut it right. Imagine a clock face. cut 1 - from 1:00 to 5:00 cut 2 - from 11:00 to 7:00 cut 3 - from 10:00 to 2:00 cut 4 - from 8:00 to 4:00 Alternatively, with a thick pie you could make three top-downwards cuts to give six people and one through the middle of the pie, parallel to the plate, to divide each of those pieces in two - giving a total of 12 pieces. (This works when if you're dealing with 'cake' instead of 'pie'.)
