If 2/5 cup of coconut shavings covers 1/4 of a cake, then how much coconut shavings are needed for one cake? A. 3/5 cup B. 5/8 cup C. 1 3/5 cup D. 10 cups

Respuesta :

The right answer is Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

2/5 cup of coconut shavings covers 1/4 of a cake,

[tex]\frac{2}{5}\ coconut\ shavings=\frac{1}{4}\ of\ cake[/tex]

For one whole cake, we will multiply both sides with 4;

[tex]4*\frac{2}{5}=\frac{1}{4}*4\\\frac{8}{5} = 1\ cake[/tex]

Writing in simplified fraction form;

[tex]1\ cake = 1\frac{3}{5}\ cups[/tex]

The right answer is Option C.
