the number of cakses needed for a party c, is dependent upon the number of guest at the party, g. which equation shows the number of cakses as a function of the number of guests
A: f(c)=g/12
B: f(g)=g/12
C: f(c)=c/12
D: f(g)=c/12

This makes absolutely no sense...

why? the question is straight forward.

I am not a baker but A. looks good.  This assumes that a cake is cut into 12 slices, and the guest only get one slice.

anonymous · Answer

it makes no sense to me either because you have 
$$f(c)$$ on one side and no "c" on the other

anonymous · Answer

crappy notation for sure.  maybe they mean 
$$c=\frac{g}{12}$$ or 
$$c=f(g)=\frac{g}{12}$$

radar · Answer

Not only am I not a baker, but not too good in math lol

anonymous · Answer

better at math i am sure than whoever wrote this problem.

radar · Answer

I was thinking if guest equal 12, cake would = 1
