A cake is divided into 10 pieces. If Mohiuddin takes 1/3 of the cake and Morshed takes 1/3 of the rest the are left, how many pieces are still left? Correct Answer 4

If a cake is divided into 10 pieces and Mohiuddin takes 1/3 of the cake, he takes:(1/3) x 10 = 10/3 piecesThe remaining cake is 10 - 10/3 = 20/3 pieces.If Morshed takes 1/3 of the remaining cake, he takes:(1/3) x (20/3) = 20/9 piecesThe number of pieces left is the remaining cake after Morshed has taken his sharewhich is:20/3 - 20/9 = 40/9To express the answer in whole numbers, we need to find a common denominator of 9. Therefore, we have:40/9 = 4 and 4/9Therefore, there are approximately 4 pieces left. The answer is "4."
