Question

You’ve been asked to order cake for your school dance. Here’s a formula for the scenario: z=xa/y

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of cake for order is 15 cakes .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Total number of people to attend the dance = x = 60

The number of slices each person will eat = A = 2 slices

The number of slices per cake = y = 8 slices

Let The number of cake for order = z

Now, According to question

Total slices of cake required for 60 people when each people eat 2 slices = total number of people × number of slices each person will eat

i.e Total slices of cake required for 60 people when each people eat 2 slices = x × A

Or, Total slices of cake required for 60 people when each people eat 2 slices = 60 × 2 slices

Or,Total slices of cake required for 60 people when each people eat 2 slices = 120 slices

Again

∵ number of slices per cake = 8

∴ The number of cake for order = $\dfrac{\textrm Total slices of cake required for 60 people when each people eat 2 slices}{\textrm number of slices per cake }$

Or, z = $\frac{x\times A}{y}$

i.e z = $\frac{120}{8}$

∴   z = 15 cakes

So,The number of cake for order = z = 15 cakes

Hence,The number of cake for order is 15 cakes . Answer
