A birthday cake was cut into 20 equal pieces. 16 pieces were served at the party. What fraction of cake was not served at the party?
Given :
A cake was cut into 20 equal pieces.
The number of pieces served in the party $= 16$.
To find :
We have to find the fraction of the cake which was not served at the party.
Solution :
Number of pieces not served in the party $= 20-16 = 4$
The fraction of cake not served in the party $= \frac{Number of pieces not served}{Total number of pieces}$
$=\frac {4}{20}$
$= \frac{1}{5}$.
Therefore, the fraction cake not served at the party is $\frac{1}{5}$.Advertisements
