How many cakes are needed to serve a group of 70 students and 3 staff members if each cake provides 24 servings?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
To determine the number of cakes needed, add the total number of individuals to be served: 70 students + 3 staff members = 73 individuals. Then, divide the total number of individuals by the number of servings per cake: 73 ?À 24 = 3 with a remainder. Since you cannot serve a fraction of a cake, you will need an additional cake. Therefore, you would need 4 cakes to serve the group of 70 students and 3 staff members, ensuring each person receives a serving.
