Four players (Abe, Betty, Cory, and Dana) are sharing a cake. Suppose that the cake is divided into four slices x, y, z, and w. The table on the right gives the value of each slice in the eyes of each of the players. Use this information to answer parts (a) through (e). x y Z W Abe $4.00 $3.00 $5.00 $4.00 Betty $2.50 $4.00 $4.50 $7.00 Cory $6.50 $5.00 $4.00 $4.50 Dana $2.00 $8.50 $3.00 $4.50 (a) Which of the four slices are fair to Abe?
