5/8 of the guests*

anonymous · Answer

it implies 3/8 of the total  guests are served with carrot cake

anonymous · Answer

do 5 divided by 8, and find that percentage, then take that percentage of 112 for the chocolate, then subtract that from 112 to find how many will be eating the carrot cake.

anonymous · Answer

3/8 of the guests receive carrot cake. So take 3/8 of 112. To do this, multiply 3/8 * 112
