do as directed 1) how many pieces of 2/5 kg cake can be cut from 10 kg of cake?​

Answer 1

Question :- How many pieces of 2/5 kg cake can be cut from 10 kg of cake ?

Solution :-

Let us assume that, x number of pieces of cakes can be cut from 10 kg of cake .

given that,

• weight of each piece = (2/5) kg.
• Total weight of cake = 10 kg.

so,

→ Total number of pieces * weight of each piece = Total weight of cake .

→ x * (2/5) = 10

→ (2x/5) = 10

→ 2x = 10 * 5

→ x = 5 * 5

→ x = 25 (Ans.)

Hence, 25 pieces of cakes can be cut from 10 kg of cake .

Answer 2

Given:

how many pieces of 2/5 kg cake can be cut from 10 kg of cake?

Solution:

It is given that total weight of cake is 10kg and each piece of cake weighs 2/5kg.

Now, we need to find how many pieces can be cut from 10kg of cake.

If each piece = 2/5kg

? pieces = 10 kg

=> 10 ÷ 2/5

=> 10 x 5/2

=> 50/2

=> 25

Hence, 25 pieces can be cut from 10 kg of cake
