Let the family members b x.
Father ate 1/4 of the cake;
Rest members got 3/4x,
the father had 3 times more than other members share i.e 3/4,
Now,
3(3/4x) = 1/4,
3/4x = 1/12,
36 = 4x,
X = 9,
9 + 1(father) = 10 total family member.

Answer:
2 members
Step-by-step explanation:
the remaining cake = 1-1/4 = 3/4
father ate= 1/4 of a cake
every member eat = 3 times more than father
=1/4×3 =3/4
members = (3/4) ÷ (3/4)
= 1
total member = father + 1
= 2 members
