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.
