Mona has ‘5/8’ of a cake that needs to be shared among 2 people. What fraction of cake will each person get?

5/16 of a cake per person

Step-by-step explanation:

with questions like this you can just multiply the amount of people by the denominator. In this case it would be 2 by 8.

5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

you must divide 5/8 by two

since you cannot divide 5 perfectly you must change the fraction to 10/16

then you multiply it by 1/2 to get 10/32

simplify 10/32 to get 5/16
