Answer 1

To find the total number of slices of cake made, you first need to calculate the total number of cakes baked and then multiply by the number of slices per cake.

They baked:

• 18 chocolate cakes
• 12 white cakes
• 6 coconut cakes

Adding these together gives:

18 + 12 + 6 = 36 cakes

Each cake is cut into 12 equal slices. Thus, the total number of slices is:

36 cakes × 12 slices per cake = 432 slices

So, the answer is 432 slices.
