Question

Of the 52 cakes in the bakery, 44 are chocolate cakes and the rest are vanilla cakes. What fraction of the cake has vanilla flavor? Write the fraction in the lowest form.

• A. $\frac{11}{13}$
• B. $\frac{2}{13}$
• C. $\frac{2}{9}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{2}{13}$

Total number of cakes in the bakery shop = 52
Number of chocolate cakes = 44
Number of vanilla cakes = 52 - 44 = 8
Fraction of vanilla cakes $=\frac{8}{52}$
$=\frac{2\times 2\times 2}{2\times 2\times 13}$
$=\frac{2}{13}$
