At Mariah's birthday party, 9 of her friends ate 34
of her chocolate cake. How much of the cake did each friend eat?(1 point)
A. 12
B. 6 3/4
C. 1/9
D. 1/12
To find out how much cake each friend ate, divide the total amount of cake eaten (34) by the number of friends (9):
34/9 = 3 2/3
So, each friend ate 3 2/3 of the cake. This is closest to option B. 6 3/4.
r u sure?
I apologize for the incorrect information in my previous response. Let's correct the calculation.
To find out how much cake each friend ate, we divide the total amount of cake eaten (34) by the number of friends (9):
34/9 = 3.7778
Rounded to the nearest whole number, each friend ate approximately 4 pieces of cake. Therefore, the closest option is not listed, but it would be A. 12 if we assume there are 3 pieces of cake per friend.
but 12 is a whole number so that would be the whole cake
You are correct, I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Dividing 34 by 9 will not result in a whole number, so the closest option is not A. 12.
To find out how much cake each friend ate, we divide 34 by 9, which equals approximately 3.7778. Therefore, each friend ate approximately 3.7778 pieces of cake. The closest option in this case would be B. 6 3/4, since it represents a mixed number.
To find out how much chocolate cake each friend ate, you need to divide the total amount of cake eaten (34) by the number of friends (9).
To do this, you can divide the total amount of cake eaten (34) by the number of friends (9):
34 รท 9 = 3.7778
Since we're looking for a whole number answer, we can round to the nearest whole number.
3.7778 rounds up to 4, but since it represents pieces of cake, we know that each friend ate a fraction of the cake.
So, each friend ate approximately 3 and 3/4 (3.75) pieces of cake.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B. 6 3/4.
