Question

A caterer needs to know the volume of the remaining cake to determine how many servings she has. What is the volume of the remaining cake?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, there!!!

Let's simply work with it,

Firslty let's assume the whole cake, when you assume the cake in whole. you get,

length (l)= 16 in

breadth (d)= 6 in

and height (h)= 4 in

now, as it is a rectangle shaped cake,

volume of a whole cake (v)= l×b×h

or, v= 16 in × 6 in × 4 in.

Therefore, the volume of whole cake is 384 cubic inch.

now,

let's find the volume of eaten part,

As per the picture, the 1/4th part of cake is eaten so,

length = 8 in

breadth = 3in

and height = 4in.

so, volume of eaten part = l × b × h

v= 8in × 3in × 4in

Therefore , v= 96 cubic inch.

now, lastly finding the volume of remaining part,

v. of remaining part = v.of whole cake - v. of eaten part.

or, v. of remaining part = 384 in^3 - 96 in^3

Therefore, the volume of remaining part is 288in^3.

Hope it helps....

Answer 2

Answer: D. 288 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find volume of the remaining shape:

V (remaining) = V (original shape) - V (taken)

Find Volume of the original shape:

V(original) = 16 x 6 x 4 = 384 in^3

Find the volume of the taken shape:

V(taken) = 8 x 4 x 3 = 96 in^3

Find the volume of the remaining shape:

V (remaining) = 384 - 96 = 288in^3
