To find out how many pieces of cake you ate, you can use the following steps:
Step 1: Determine the number of pieces the cake is cut into, which is 20 pieces.
Step 2: Calculate how many pieces you ate, which is 3/5 of the total pieces.
To do this, multiply the total number of pieces (20) by the fraction of pieces you ate (3/5):
(20) x (3/5) = (60/5) = 12 pieces.
Therefore, you ate 12 pieces of the cake.
