To find the total amount of cake sold, we need to add the amount sold on Monday and Tuesday.
The amount sold on Monday is 3/4 of a cake.
The amount sold on Tuesday is 5/8 of a cake.
To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 8 is 8.
Converting 3/4 to have a denominator of 8, we get 6/8.
Adding 6/8 and 5/8 gives us a total of 11/8.
Therefore, the bakery sold 11/8 of a cake in total.
A bakery sold 3/4 of a cake on Monday and 5/8 of a cake on Tuesday. How much cake did the bakery sell in total?
