Budhas 7/10 of a cake left. Two of his friends are over for dessert. Estimate how much cake
each of them, including Bud, will get.

A.1/2 of the cake

B.1/4of the cake

C.3/4of the cake

D.1 1/4of the cake

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Two friends + Bud = 3 people

7/10 = 70%, or less than a full cake

D is more than a full cake so this cannot be the answer.

C is 3/4 which 75% for each person, but there is only 70% to begin with so this is impossible.

B is 1/4 for each person also known as 25% for each person. 25% × 3 people = 75% which is slightly over how much cake Bud has (70%).

A is 1/2 for each person, but there isn't enough cake to go around to give each person a half piece.

The soundest solution would be B. Since the problem calls for estimations, B gives about 25% to each person, totaling to 75% after 3 people. Although we only have 70%, we are only estimating. A 5% difference is a good estimate.

there are no multiple choices
