2) Jimmy and Carlos are at a meeting with eight other people. They are all hungry, but there are only seven bagels. Jimmy divides each bagel in half and gives each person a half of a bagel. He takes the remaining pieces and keeps dividing them all in half until he can again give everyone an equal size piece. He repeats this again with the remaining pieces he now has until everyone has gotten 3 of the same size pieces, a large piece, a medium piece and a small piece. If Jimmy takes his fair share and any remaining pieces, what fraction of the bagels does Jimmy get? Express your answer to the nearest 1/16th of
a bagel. |
