Question

Four brothers shared a birthday cake equally amongst themselves. If the weight of one piece is 250 g, find the weight of the entire cake?

• A. 1000
• B. 750
• C. 500
• D. 250

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1000

Since the cake is being equally divided amongst the 4 brothers, so each brother has consumed $\frac{1}{4}$ of the cake.
If the weight of one piece is 250 grams, therefore, the weight of the entire cake would be four times the piece of one cake.

So, the total weight of the cake is
$4\times 250grams=1000grams$

The total weight of the cake is $1000grams$.
