There will be 6 people at Eli's cake party. You want to bake enough cake so that each person you feed will eat at least 1/5 of the cake. What is the minimum number of cakes to bake? Please put the procedure with operations used. :(

2 cakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

There will be a total number of 6 people at Eli's cake party.

You want that each one of these 6 people to eat at least 1/5 of a cake.

Then you need to make, at least, 6 times 1/5 of a cake.

This is equal to:

6*(1/5) of a cake = 6/5 of a cake.

And we can rewrite this as:

(6/5) of a cake = (5 + 1)/5 of a cake = (5/5 + 1/5) of a cake = 1 cake + 1/5 of a cake.

But you can not bake only 1/5 of a cake, we need whole numbers.

Then we need to round up to the next whole number, which is 2.

This means that you need to bake at least 2 cakes.

the probability is 0
