Question

On the birthday of Sikka the cake was cut into 20 equal pieces. 15 pieces were served at the party. what part of the cake was served at the party ? please explain me

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

• Total number of pieces of cake = 20

• Number of pieces of cakes that were served in the party = 15

Now, write it in the form of a/b in which:-

• Number of pieces of cakes that were served in the party will be numerator.

• Total number of pieces of cake will be denominator.

→ 15/20

Now, it can be converted in its simplest form, so convert it into its simplest form.

To convert it into its simplest form divide both of them by 5:-

→ (15÷5)/(20÷5)

→ 3/4

Since, 3/4 is the simplest form of 15/20.

Therefore, 3/4th part of the cake was served in the party.
