Answer 1

70 people will be served carrot cake.

Answer 2

42 guests will get carrot cake.

Explanation:

Total number of guests in wedding = 112

Fraction of guests to be served with chocolate cake =
`(5)/(8)`

Fraction of guests to be served with carrot cake =
`1-(5)/(8)=(3)/(8)`

Number of guest to be served with carrot cake:

`(3)/(8)* 112=42`

Number of guest to be served with chocolate cake: 112 - 42 = 70
