Question

Mr Nelson has a 4 pound cake. he cuts the cake into equal pieces of 2/3 of a pound to distribute to people. how many people got cake?​

Answer 1

To find how many people got cake from a 4 pound cake cut into pieces of 2/3 of a pound, divide the total weight of the cake by the weight of each piece.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many people got cake, we need to divide the 4 pound cake into pieces of 2/3 of a pound each.

We can find the number of pieces by dividing the total weight of the cake (4 pounds) by the weight of each piece (2/3 of a pound).

4 pounds ÷ (2/3 of a pound) = 4 ÷ (2/3) = 4 × (3/2) = 12/2 = 6.

So, 6 people got cake.
