Kaley cut half of a loaf of bread into 4 equal parts. what fraction of the whole loaf does each of the 4 equal parts represent?
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{8}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have,
Kaley cut \(\frac{1}{2}\) loaf of a bread into 4 equal parts.
As, we have that, Kaley cut one whole loaf of bread into half.
This, gives \(\frac{1}{2}\) part of the bread remaining.
Since, she cuts the \(\frac{1}{2}\) of the bread into 4 parts.
So, we get, \(\frac{1/2}{4}\) equal parts of the bread.
i.e. \(\frac{1}{8}\) equal parts of the bread.
Hence, out of the whole parts, the fraction of the parts cut is \(\frac{1}{8}\).
