Takes the Cake

Here are the steps involved:

  1. Cut from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock (this give you 2 pieces).
  2. Cut from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock (this give you 4 pieces).
  3. Cut the cake in half horizontally, slicing through all the pieces. Imagine that you were cutting through the whole cake to put icing in the middle (this give you 8 pieces).

If Anita took one out of six of a cake and Barry took sixty percent of what remained what portion of the original cake is remaining?

If Anita took 1/6th of the cake. This tells me that there are a total of 6 slice of cake. So Anita took 1 piece. 60% of a a 6 slice cake is 3.6 slices - lets round that up to 4 slices. 1 Slice Alice took + 4 Slices that Barry took = 5 slices. So there is 1 slice remaining. If you don't round up and say that Barry did in fact take 3.6 slices then 1 Slice Alice took + 3.6 Slices that Barry took = 4.6 slices. There are 1.4 slices remaining.

How do you slice a 14 inch cake?

Any square or rectangle cake should be sliced straight across the cake from side to side to produce square or rectangle pieces. A nice variation is to slice the cake diagonally to produce diamond-shaped pieces. > A 14" ROUND cake can be cut in concentric circles working from the outside inward. First cut an 8" circle, centered on the cake and about 3" in from the outside. An 8" cardboard circle or a plate may be used as a guide. Cut slices from this outer circle as you would on a smaller cake; each slice will have a portion of the frosting. You now have an 8" cake remaining which can also be sliced as you would any round cake. > A 14" ROUND cake can also be cut directly side to side. Most of the slices will be squares or rectangles, but there will also be a number of irregular pieces that can be set aside or given to children as treats.
