1/5 of the whole cake has red frosting.

1/10 of the whole cake has green frosting.

Portion with blue frosting = ?

1/5

Therefore 1/5 of the cake will have blue frosting.

Given that half of the yellow frosting will have pink sprinkle.

Portion of yellow frosting is half.

we can write above condition in equation as follow:

1/2 * 1/2

1/4

Therefore, 1/4 of the whole cake will have pink sprinkles.

Given that,
