Answer: 2.815 kilograms
======================================================
Work Shown:
1 layer = 0.5 kg
5 layers = 5*(0.5 kg) = 2.5 kg
icing = 15 g = 15/1000 = 0.015 kg
1 candle = 100 g = 100/1000 = 0.1 kg
3 candles = 3*(0.1 kg) = 0.3 kg
------------------------
The five layers combine to 2.5 kg. On top of that we have 0.015 kg of icing, and then finally the three candles add 0.3 kg more weight.
The total weight is therefore: 2.5+0.015+0.3 = 2.815 kilograms
It's 12/35 because tangent is opposite over adjacent, so 12 is opposite of angle M and 35 is adjacent of angle M
If you want to remember cosine, sine, and tangent just remember

The answer is -8. Do you need an explanation?
