Cut top to bottom, left to right, then horizonatally to make two layers.

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).
3/8 is bigger than 3/10. When something is cut into eight pieces the pieces are bigger than when it is cut into 10 pieces. You can also fine the LCD to compare the fractions. 15/40 (3/8) is bigger than 12/40 (3/10).
Cut horizontally, with the plane of the knife parallel to the table, halfway between the table and the top of the cake.
No.
It is not possible to cut a pie into seven pieces of equal area. Eight pieces and six pieces can both readily be done.
Five. Anything cut into fifths will produce five pieces.
Cut top to bottom, left to right, then horizonatally to make two layers.
Cut each pie into eight pieces (cut in half, turn 1/4 turn, cut in half again, turn 1/8th turn, cut in half, turn 1/4 turn, and cut in half). Then, give each person five pieces.
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.
If you cut a whole pie into eight equal pieces one of those pieces is one eighth.
Typically, a pie is cut into 6 pieces but 8 is easier. A pie of firmer consistency, like custard, stands up better when cut into 8 pieces.
Nope. Think of it this way. Which is bigger, a piece from a pie cut into eight pieces, or a piece cut from a pie that was cut into five pieces?
Lets use a square cake to make the instructions easier. Cut one: Make cut parallel to top of cake giving two cake layers Cut two: Diagonally corner to corner Cut three: Diagonally other corner to corner
Cutting a diameter four time will get you eight pieces of pie, not seven. You cannot get 7 pieces by cutting diameters only; for that you need to cut radii.
True. The first slice produces two pieces; the second slice intersects the first, bisecting each slice to produce four pieces; the third slice bisects two corner pieces to produce a total of 6 slices; and the fourth bisects two other corner pieces to produce eight slices
