• D. $\frac{1}{6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{15}$

Wolf gives 6 cheesecakes and $\frac{2}{5}$ cups of butter.

$\frac{2}{5}$ cups of butter should be distributed equally on 6 cheesecakes.

Each cake gets butter = $\frac{2}{5}$ $÷$ 6

= $\frac{2}{5}$ $\times$ $\frac{1}{6}$

= $\frac{1}{15}$

Hence, $\frac{1}{15}$ cup of butter are put on each cheesecake.
