Edith is throwing a party and invites 18 guests. Every guest gets 2/3 of a cake each. How many cakes does she need to make?

Answer 1

To determine how many cakes Edith needs to make, we first calculate how many pieces of cake are needed in total.

If each of the 18 guests receives 2/3 of a cake, then the total amount of cake needed is:

18 guests * 2/3 cake per guest = 12 cakes

Therefore, Edith needs to make 12 cakes for her party.
