Answer 1

Given data:

The amount in each slice is 1/12.

The total amount is,

$\begin{gathered} T=6\frac{1}{6} \\ =\frac{37}{6} \end{gathered}$

The number of slices are,

$\begin{gathered} n=\frac{(\frac{37}{6})}{(\frac{1}{12})} \\ =\frac{37\times12}{6} \\ =74 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the number of slices are 74.
