Question

Melinda put 64 pieces of cake on a table. She placed them in 8 rows with the same number in each row. Each row had an equal number of two flavors of cake. How many pieces of each flavor were in one row?
Responses
A 6, because 64 ÷ 8 = 8 and 8 − 2 = 66, because 64 ÷ 8 = 8 and 8 − 2 = 6
B 28, because 64 − 8 = 56 and 56 ÷ 2 = 2828, because 64 − 8 = 56 and 56 ÷ 2 = 28
C 54, because 64 − 8 = 56 and 56 − 2 = 5454, because 64 − 8 = 56 and 56 − 2 = 54
D 4, because 64 ÷ 8 = 8 and 8 ÷ 2 = 44, because 64 ÷ 8 = 8 and 8 ÷ 2 = 4

1 answer

The correct answer is D.

To find out how many pieces of each flavor were in one row, we need to first find out how many pieces of cake are in each row. We can do this by dividing the total number of pieces of cake (64) by the number of rows (8):

64 ÷ 8 = 8

So there are 8 pieces of cake in each row.

Next, we need to find out how many pieces of each flavor are in each row. We know that each row has an equal number of two flavors of cake, so we can divide the total number of pieces in each row (8) by 2:

8 ÷ 2 = 4

Therefore, there are 4 pieces of each flavor in one row.
