Question

Paula and Daniel went to the store to by ingredients for 27 cakes. Paula paid for 2/3 of the cakes and Daniel paid 14 dollars for his portion. How much money did Paula and Daniel spend on their portion of the cake in total?

Answer 1

Daniel paid for 1/3 of the total, b/c they had to pay for the total they had to pay for 3/3 1 whole. Paula paid for 2/3 and Daniel paid for the rest which is the 14 if he paid for 1/3 and Paula paid for 2/3 she paid twice as much as he did. 14x2=28 Paula paid 28 dollars out of the total of total 42dollars it cost

Answer 2

so Daniel paid for 1 third because paula paid for the other 2/3
he paid 14 dollars so that's 1/3 of the amount
if you times 14 by 3 you get 42
you times the 13 by 3 because Daniel paid 1/3 you have to times it by 3 to get a whole.
so the answer is that they paid 42 dollars all together.
