Abstract: For convex partitions of a convex body $B$ we prove that we can put a homothetic copy of $B$ into each set of the partition so that the sum of homothety coefficients is $ge1$. In the plane the partition may be arbitrary, while in higher dimensions we need certain restrictions on the partition.
