Question

A baker made 9 cupcakes, each a different type. Four people want to share them equally. How many cupcakes will each person get? Fill in the chart to show how to solve the problem.

Answer 1

Answer: $2\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the total number of cupcakes = 9

Hence, If there are 4 people,

And, all of them distribute the cupcake equally,

Then, the cupcake will each person get

= $\frac{\text{ Total number of cupcakes}}{\text{Total number of people}}$

= $\frac{9}{4}$

= $2\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, each person get  $2\frac{1}{4}$ part of the total cupcakes.
