Question

Last week, a cake shop had orders for 36 carrot cakes, 77 chocolate cakes, 15 lemon cakes, and 15 vanilla cakes. If 4 bakers each made nearly and equal number of cakes, about how many cakes did each baker bake?

Answer 1

Each Baker will bake 9 equal number of carrot cakes

3 of the four bakers will bake 19 chocolate cakes and the fourth Baker will bake 20 chocolate cakes

Three of the four bakers will bake 4 lemon cakes each and the fourth Baker will bake 3 lemon cake

Three of the four bakers will bake 4 vanilla cakes each and the fourth Baker will bake 3 vanilla cakes

Explanation:

Carrot cakes=36

Chocolate cakes=77

Lemon cakes=15

Vanilla cakes=15

There are 4 bakers to bake cakes

If the 4 bakers each made nearly and equal number of cakes,

Then each Baker will bake,

Carrot cake=36 divided by 4 bakers

36/4=9 cakes each

Each Baker will bake 9 equal number of carrot cakes

Chocolate cakes=77/4 bakers

=19 remainder 1

3 of the four bakers will bake 19 chocolate cakes and the fourth Baker will bake 20 chocolate cakes

Lemon cakes=15/4 bakers

=3 remainder 3

Three of the four bakers will bake 4 lemon cakes each and the fourth Baker will bake 3 lemon cake

Vanilla cakes=15 /4 bakers

=3 remainder 3

Three of the four bakers will bake 4 vanilla cakes each and the fourth Baker will bake 3 vanilla cakes

That is,

4+4+4+3=15 vanilla cakes
