Question

A bakery received an order for 7 similar cakes. The customer requested that the cakes be cut and packed equally in 12 similar small boxes with each box containing two slices of cake. Explain how you would use the knowledge of factors and multiples to solve the problem.

Answer 1

Well then you have to cut the 7 cakes in such a way that there are 24 equal parts.

7/24 is just slightly smaller than 1/3 = 8/24.

7/24 = 0.2916 is the exact size of each piece
