Chapter 3, Problem 25E

Mark, Tim, Maia, and Kelly are dividing a cake among themselves using the lone-divider method. The divider divides the cake into four slices ( s 1 , s 2 , s 3 , and s 4 ) . T a b l e 3 - 1 8 shows the values of the slices to each player expressed as a percent of the total value of the cake.

Table 3 − 1 8


Mark	20%	32%	28%	20%
Tim	25%	25%	25%	25%
Maia	15%	15%	30%	40%
Kelly	24%	24%	24%	28%

a. Who was the divider?

b. Find a fair division of the cake.

Four partners are dividing a piece of land that each see as worth $124,000 among themselves. They use the lone-divider method. This time Derek is the divider, and creates the parcels S1, S2, S3, and S4. The following table shows the value of the parcels in the eyes of each partner. S1 S2 S3 S4 Alison $27,000 $35,000 $29,000 $33,000 Ben $30,000 $32,000 $25,000 $37,000 Cailyn $29,000 $37,000 $28,000 $30,000 Derek $31,000 $31,000 $31,000 $31,000 What happens next according to lone-divider? Group of answer choices Alison gets S4, Cailyn gets S2, Ben and Derek have to recombine S1 and S3 and play Divider-Chooser Derek gets one of S1 or S3. The other players recombine the remaining pieces and re-divide. Alison gets S2, Ben gets S1, Cailyn gets S4, Derek gets S3 Alison gets S3, Ben gets S2, Cailyn gets S4, Derek gets S1 There is no way to resolve this according to Lone Divider

Dane, Enzo and Fraser shared some game cards. Dane had 2/5 of what Enzo had. Enzo had 6 times of what Fraser had. After Dane lost some of his game cards in school, he had 1/7 of the total game cards that Enzo and Fraser had. The three boys had 280 game cards altogether in the end. (a) What was the ratio of Dane's share to Enzo's share to Fraser's share at first? (b) How many game cards did Dane lose in school?
