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.
One over however many pieces the cake is cut into.
The serving amount depends on how big the pieces are cut into.
12
Depends on how big you cut the pieces. If you cut 2x2 inch pieces, a 12x18 cake will yield 54 servings.
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.
Fourths are much bigger than tenths. They are so much bigger that it only takes FOUR of them to make one whole something. Tenths are smaller; it takes TEN of them to make the same whole something. Make 2 identical strawberry rhubarb pies. Cut one into FOUR equal pieces. Cut the other into TEN equal pieces. If you give out a piece from the one cut into 4 pieces, and a piece from the one cut into 10 pieces, which piece will be larger? The first pie is cut into fourths, and the second is cut into tenths.
The best way to divide a square cake into 6 pieces would to first cut the cake in half (creating 2 pieces) and cutting each of those 2 pieces into thirds (creating 6 pieces).
13.5 is higher than 13.055. The .5 is the same as 5 tenths or 5/10. The .055 is the same as 55 one thousandths or 55/1000. Like cutting pie into pieces. If you are hungry u would rather have 5 pieces of a cake cut into ten pieces versus having 55 pieces of a pie cut into 1000 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
Your mother licked the spatula when she cut the cake...oops...people don't cut cake with spatulas... lol
It depends on how you cut them.
