If it takes 1/3 of a can of frosting to cover a small cake, how many cakes can you frost with 4 cans of frosting?

a. Solve the problem. Show your work.

b. Write the equation to represent the problem and the answer.

Answer 1

Hello answer: 1 1/3

work: 1/3 × 4 = 1 1/3

equation: 1/3 × 4 = 1 1/3

Answer 2

see explanation

Explanation:

(a)

`(1)/(3)` can → 1 cake

Number of thirds in 1 can = 3, then

Number of thirds in 4 cans = 3 × 4 = 12

Thus 12 cakes can be frosted with 4 cans

(b)

number of cakes = 4 ÷
`(1)/(3)` = 4 ×
`(3)/(1)` = 12
