Question
Melinda put 64 pieces of cake on a table. She placed them in 8 rows with the same number in each row. Each row had an equal number of two flavors of cake. How many pieces of each flavor were in one row?
Responses
A 6, because 64 ÷ 8 = 8 and 8 − 2 = 66, because 64 ÷ 8 = 8 and 8 − 2 = 6
B 28, because 64 − 8 = 56 and 56 ÷ 2 = 2828, because 64 − 8 = 56 and 56 ÷ 2 = 28
C 54, because 64 − 8 = 56 and 56 − 2 = 5454, because 64 − 8 = 56 and 56 − 2 = 54
D 4, because 64 ÷ 8 = 8 and 8 ÷ 2 = 44, because 64 ÷ 8 = 8 and 8 ÷ 2 = 4
The correct answer is D.
To find out how many pieces of each flavor were in one row, we need to first find out how many pieces of cake are in each row. We can do this by dividing the total number of pieces of cake (64) by the number of rows (8):
64 ÷ 8 = 8
So there are 8 pieces of cake in each row.
Next, we need to find out how many pieces of each flavor are in each row. We know that each row has an equal number of two flavors of cake, so we can divide the total number of pieces in each row (8) by 2:
8 ÷ 2 = 4
Therefore, there are 4 pieces of each flavor in one row.
To find out how many pieces of each flavor were in one row, we need to divide the total number of pieces of cake (64) by the number of rows (8). This will give us the total number of pieces in each row.
64 ÷ 8 = 8
Now, since each row has an equal number of two flavors of cake, we need to find out how many pieces of each flavor are in one row. To do that, we need to subtract the number of rows (8) by 2 and divide it by 2.
(8 - 2) ÷ 2 = 6
Therefore, the correct response is A) 6, because 64 ÷ 8 = 8 and 8 − 2 = 6.
To solve this problem, we need to find out how many pieces of each flavor were in one row.
The problem states that there are 64 pieces of cake in total and they are arranged in 8 rows with an equal number in each row.
To find out how many pieces of cake are in one row, we need to divide the total number of pieces (64) by the number of rows (8). This can be written as 64 ÷ 8.
By performing this division, we find that 64 ÷ 8 equals 8. So, each row contains 8 pieces of cake.
Now, the problem states that each row has an equal number of two flavors of cake. This means that the total number of pieces in each row is divided equally between the two flavors.
So, to find out how many pieces of each flavor are in one row, we divide the total number of pieces in one row (8) by 2. This can be written as 8 ÷ 2.
By performing this division, we find that 8 ÷ 2 equals 4. Therefore, there are 4 pieces of each flavor in one row.
Therefore, the correct answer is D: 4, because 64 ÷ 8 = 8 and 8 ÷ 2 = 4.
