to cakes are shared equally among 5 children What fraction of a cake does
each child get​

Answer 1

Since you want to share equally , and you have more than one things to give more the one person.

you can first look at how the number of people can be group equally for the number of item . ( in this case, 6 people put in group of 2 equally. 6/2 which is 3. Meaning each pizza gets 3 people. )

And for the group it can easily share equally by taking the number of fractions over amount of people. ( in this case is 1/3 as there is 3 in a group)

So for one person for a single pizza it is 1/3

But for fraction of the pizzas ( in this case there was two pizza) it is 1/6 of the total pizzas.

Answer 2

Each get 1/4

1-3 2/6 is your answer
