Understanding the Cake Problem
A cake is divided into 12 equal pieces, which means each piece represents 1/12 of the whole cake.
Amount of Cake Eaten by Anna
- Anna eats 5/12 of the cake.
- This means she consumes 5 pieces out of the total 12 pieces.
Calculating the Remaining Cake
- To find out how much cake is left, we need to subtract the amount eaten by Anna from the total cake.
- Total cake = 12/12 (the whole cake)
- Cake eaten by Anna = 5/12
Remaining Cake Calculation
- Remaining cake = Total cake - Cake eaten by Anna
- Remaining cake = 12/12 - 5/12
Performing the Subtraction
- To subtract the fractions, we keep the denominator the same:
- (12 - 5) / 12 = 7/12
Conclusion: Amount of Cake Left
- After Anna eats 5/12 of the cake, the remaining amount is 7/12.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' (7/12).
In summary, after Anna has eaten her share, there are 7 pieces left out of the original 12 pieces, which is represented as 7/12 of the cake.
