Problem

Sam baked some cakes for her friend. She baked 24 cakes. Each cake is \$3/16\$ pound. If she packed six cakes in each box, what is the weight of each box?

Operator used

\$\times\$

Step - 1

Weight of each cake = \$3/16\$ pound

Step - 2

Number of cakes in each box = \$6\$

Step - 3

Weight of each box = \$3/\cancel16^8 \times \cancel6^3\$ = \$9/8\$ = \$1 1/8\$

Step - 4

Then, weight of each box = \$9/8\$ = \$1 1/8\$ pounds
