Question

If 5 cakes are divided among 4 persons equally, how much cake will each person get?

• A. 1 $\frac{1}{2}$
• B. 1 $\frac{1}{3}$
• C. 1 $\frac{1}{4}$
• D. 1 $\frac{1}{5}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1 $\frac{1}{4}$

Number of cakes = 5
Number of persons = 4
If we will give one cake to each person then also one cake will left over.
The remaining 1 cake can be distriuted equally by giving $\frac{1}{4}$ piece of it to each of the person.
So each person will get 1 $\frac{1}{4}$ cake.
