Answer:Each whole slice of cake can be divided into 2 halves so [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] slices of cake is a total of 7 halves because each friend gets half a life of cake there are 7.Step-by-step explanation:Given : A group of friends share [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  slices of cakes each friend gets half a slice of cake.To find : How many friends shared the slices of cake ?     Solution : According to question,[tex]3\frac{1}{2}=3+\frac{1}{2}[/tex]i.e. it divided into 2 halves.[tex]3+\frac{1}{2}=1+1+1+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}[/tex]i.e. total [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] slices are 7 halves.Each friend gets half a life of cakei.e. there are 7 friends.Rounding all the statements together,Each whole slice of cake can be divided into 2 halves so [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] slices of cake is a total of 7 halves because each friend gets half a life of cake there are 7.
