Given the statement:
Jarred cut the chocolate cake into 12 equal parts. The marble cake was cut into 6 equal parts.
Determine how many slices are left for each cake if his family ate 5 slices of chocolate cake and 3 slices of marble cake.
Solution:
Simply subtract the number of slices eaten by the family to the total number of slices.
Chocolate cake = 12 -5
Chocolate cake = 7 slices
Marble cake = 6 - 3
Marble cake = 3 slices
Final answer:
Chocolate cake = 7 slices left
Marble cake = 3 slices left
