Final answer:
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.
