Cut a cake 1/5

Visually cut a cake 1/5 portions of equal size:

1) divide into half:




2) divide 1/5 of the right half:




3) divide half, obtain 1/5 = right of (3)

$latex \frac{1}{5}= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}(1- \frac{1}{5}))= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2} (\frac{4}{5}))=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5})$





4) By symmetry another 1/5 at (2)=(4)




5) divide left into 3 portions, each 1/5

$latex \frac{1}{5}= \frac{1}{3}(\frac{1}{2}+ \frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{5}) = \frac{1}{3}.\frac{6}{10}$
