To find out how much cake each friend ate, divide the total amount of cake eaten (34) by the number of friends (9):
34/9 = 3 2/3
So, each friend ate 3 2/3 of the cake. This is closest to option B. 6 3/4.
of her chocolate cake. How much of the cake did each friend eat?(1 point)
A. 12
B. 6 3/4
C. 1/9
D. 1/12
34/9 = 3 2/3
So, each friend ate 3 2/3 of the cake. This is closest to option B. 6 3/4.
To find out how much cake each friend ate, we divide the total amount of cake eaten (34) by the number of friends (9):
34/9 = 3.7778
Rounded to the nearest whole number, each friend ate approximately 4 pieces of cake. Therefore, the closest option is not listed, but it would be A. 12 if we assume there are 3 pieces of cake per friend.
To find out how much cake each friend ate, we divide 34 by 9, which equals approximately 3.7778. Therefore, each friend ate approximately 3.7778 pieces of cake. The closest option in this case would be B. 6 3/4, since it represents a mixed number.
To do this, you can divide the total amount of cake eaten (34) by the number of friends (9):
34 ÷ 9 = 3.7778
Since we're looking for a whole number answer, we can round to the nearest whole number.
3.7778 rounds up to 4, but since it represents pieces of cake, we know that each friend ate a fraction of the cake.
So, each friend ate approximately 3 and 3/4 (3.75) pieces of cake.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B. 6 3/4.
