Answer 2

cake was selected by 98 guests
pie was selected by 67 guests

cake cuts in 12 slices
pie into 8 slices

use the rule of 3 simple and write

1 cake give 12 slices
x cake give 98 slices cross multiplie and calcule the x value

x = 98*1/12 = 98/12 = 8,1 => 9 cakes need to bake

1 pie give 8 slices
x pie give 67 slices

x = 67*1/8 = 67/8 = 8,3 => 9 pie need to bake

hope helped understandably easy
