Taylor cut the cake into 8 equal size pieces and 6 people ate all of the pieces. explain how they could have divided the pieces so that everyone ate the same amount of the cake.

Number of pieces into which the cake has been cut = 8
Number of people that ate all the pieces = 6
Let us assume the division in which the cake has been divided for everyone to have an equal amount = x
Then
6x = 8
x = 8/6
   = 4/3
   = 1 1/3
So it can seen that the cake has been divided in such a way that each part of the cake was 1 1/3. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
