Question

Angelina has five cakes. She wants to cut them into 2/5 pieces. How many pieces will she be able to cut?

Answer 1

Answer:
She will be able to cut them into 12.5 pieces

Explanation:
We know that the total number of cakes is 5 cakes and that the portion of each piece would be $\frac{2}{5}$.

To know the total number of pieces she can divide, we would simply divide the total number of cakes by the portion of each cake as follows:
number of pieces = $\frac{5}{ \frac{2}{5}}$

number of pieces = $\frac{25}{2}$

number of pieces = 12.5 pieces
