A factory makes 750 cakes every day. The cakes are orange cakes or lemon cakes. Each day Aadil takes a sample of 25 cakes to che
ck. The proportion of the cakes in his sample that are orange is the same as the proportion of the cakes made that day that are orange. On Monday Aadil calculated that he needed exactly 7 orange cakes in his sample. a) What is the total number of orange cakes that were made on Monday
A) On Monday, 7/25 of the 750 are orange cakes. 7/25 x 750 = 210
B) If the proportion of orange cakes is 5/25 where 5 is correct to the nearest whole number, then the 4.5 would be the lowest number that would still be rounded up to 5. 4.5/25 = 0.18
You can turn 9/6 into a mixed number by doing it 2 ways: 9/6=1 3/6 or 1 1/2 <span>Or you can simplify it to 3/2 to make it easier to form into a mixed number. 1 1/2
