Question

i want to cover 3 cakes with melted chocolate if i have 1/2 pound of chocolate and i want to pour it evenly over three cakes how much will each cake get

Answer 1

Answer:

no. of cakes = 3

total amount of chocolate = 1/2 pound

to pour melted chocolate equally on all the cakes it has to be divided in three parts i.e. 1/2/3 = 1/2 × 1/3 = 1/6

So, each cake requires 1/6 pound of melted chocolate
