Question

Carla and Cosmo distribute 7 cupcakes among themselves. Which of the following is true regarding this statement?

• A. Both of them get more than one cup cake.
• B. Both of them get less than one cup cake.
• C. Only Carla gets one more than one cup cake.
• D. Only Cosmo gets one more than one cup cake.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both of them get more than one cup cake.

Total number of cupcakes = 7
Total number of members = 2
$\text{Fraction}=\frac{\text{Number of cupcakes}}{\text{Number of members}}$
$=\frac{7}{2}$

Numerator is greater than the denominator, so both of them will get more than one cupcake.
