Question

Shirley baked 8 cakes for her mother’s birthday party. She cut the cakes into pieces for each guest
such that each piece equals 1/8 of a cake. When the party was over, she noticed that 11 cake pieces
were left. Find out how many guests came for the party, assuming each guest took one cake piece.

Answer 1

Answer:

53

Step-by-step explanation:

8×8 = 64

64 - 11 = 53

so therfore there was 53 guests

There were 53 guests

As the cake was cut into eight parts and there were eight cakes, so it is 8*8 resulting 64 and 64-11 is 53
