Here is the complete question

A wedding cake weighed 8kg. If 2/5th of its weight was flour, 5/16th was sugar,1/4th was cream and the rest were nuts, find the weight of nuts.

fraction of the cake that was nuts = 1 - (2/5 + 5/16 + 1/4)

`(32 + 25 + 20)/(80)` = 3/80

wight of nuts = 3/80 x 8 = 0.3 kg = 300g
