Question

Peyton and James each bought a large cookie cake. The cookie cakes are
the same size.
Peyton cut his cookie cake into 12 slices.
James cut his cookie cake into 6 slices and ate 4 slices.
Together Peyton and James ate 10
12 of one cookie cake.
How many slices of cake did Peyton eat?
A 1 slice
B 2 slices
C 3 slices
D 4 slices

Answer 1

Answer:

2 slices.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that James' cake is essentially one half of Peyton's cake. 6 x 2 is 12, and 4 x 2 is 8. So James' must have eaten 8 slices while Peyton ate 2.

Answer 2

I’m pretty sure it would be B 2 slices because James is really eating 8 slices because his are cut in 1/6
