Two children want to share 1 cake so they each get the same amount. How much cake will each child get? Four children want to share 1 cake. How much cake will each child get? Eight children want to share 1 cake. How much will each child get?

1/2

1/4

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use fractions to convey an amount that is less than 1 (the whole).

In a fraction, the denominator (on bottom) represents the total amount of parts there are of something. The numerator (on top) represents how many parts of the whole we are looking at in a specific instance.

For the two children, sharing a cake, the cake is split into two parts, so the denominator is 2. The numerator is 1 because each child gets 1 piece.

For the four children, there are four available parts and each child gets 1 part.

For the eight children, there are eight available parts and each child gets 1 part.

1/6

step-by-step explanation:

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

step-by-step explanation:

formula

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

let the line segment ab with a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2)

a point(x,y) divide ab in the ratio, 2: 3 the x coordinate can be written as

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

here p=2 and w = 2+3

therefore,

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

similarly y coordinate y = y1 + 2/5(y2 - y1)
