A large cake from a bakery will serve 60 people. If there are 832 people expected at the reception, how many cakes are needed?

You would need 14 cakes. This is because 832/60=13.866667. But you have to round up to the nearest whole number because you can't make 13.866667 cakes.

well first you have to divide 832 by 60 which is 13.8666 since there is a reminder you will need 14 cakes

You will need 14 cakes to serve 832 people, as one cake serves 60 people. Dividing 832 by 60 gives approximately 13.87, which rounds up to 14. This ensures there is enough cake for all the guests at the reception.
