Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 of the 5 equal parts were distriuted among 7 children, which means that 2/5 of the original cake is distributed among 7 children.
Now 1 child gets 1/7 of the portion distributed among 7 children (which is 2/5 of original cake), which means 1 child gets (1/7)*(2/5)=2/35 of original cake.

Answer:
171.4 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
2kg cake divided among 5 boys.
1 boy will get = 2kg / 5 = 400 grams of cake.
4kg cake divided among 7 girls.
1 girl will get = 4kg / 7 = 571.4 grams of cake.
The piece of cake distributed to girl is more than the cake distributed to boy.
It is 171.4 grams more than the cake that is distributed to a boy.
