Answers
Answer:10 members
Step-by-step explanation:
Father eats 1/4th of the cake
Eats thrice more than any other member so that 1/4th was being sliced into 3 equal slices. Left over cake= 3/4th = 3 big slices which is being sliced to 3 smaller slices so 3 × 3= 9 other members eating the cake + the glutton father = 10 members in the family.
10 Members in Family if father took 1/4 cake and 3 times as much as each of other member
Step-by-step explanation:
Let say Number of Family Members = X
Members other than Father = X - 1
Father took Cake = 1/4
3 * Each member took cake = 1/4
=> Each member took cake = 1/12
=>X - 1 memebrs took cake = (X - 1)/12
Remaining cake after father took = 1 - 1/4
= 3/4
(X - 1)/12 = 3/4
=> X - 1 = 9
=> X = 10
