Today in class we did mental math, then we were homework checked on the cake problem.
Dan is preparing to serve his rectangular cake(9" by 13"). he requires at least five large pieces of cake (4" by 3") and at least five smaller pieces of cake (2" by 2"). Create a scale drawing to show how Dan could get the most pieces from this cake with at least five of each, and the least possible waste. calculate the total waste.
As far as I could tell it is just trial and error. If you cut your cake correctly you should be left with 1" by 1" of waste.
Mr. Maks then showed us how we could do 2A with the help of a spreadsheet.
We have now been assigned question 2 A in the booklet for homework.
