Solution

Answer :

Given total number of cakes = 8

And

Number of children = 9

So,

We divide our cake in 9 equal parts , That how we get from 8 cakes = 8 $\times$ 9 = 72 pieces of cake .

Now we can easily divide 72 pieces in 9 children equally , So each will get $\frac{72}{9}$ = 8 pieces ( Ans )
