I have 6 cakes and I want to divide them between 8 people how much does each person get?

6 cakes for 8 people. Divide by 8 people to get the cakes for each person.

6/8 cake per person. However, this fraction can be simplified.

Divide the top and bottom by 2.

We get 3/4, or 0.75 cake for each person.
