Question

How can we cut an 8"x5" loaf of bread to get 16 equal pieces and how big will each piece be?

Answer 1

Answer:

First, we find the area of the bread.

$8 \times 5 = 40$

Now, we need to divide this by 16 to get the size of each piece.

$40 \div 16 = 2.5$

Each piece will be:

${2.5cm}^{2}$
