I&#8217;d like to order 7 halves of a cupcake for my family plus some extra for my 2 friends."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-373.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-ast-global-color-1-color\">The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The correct answer is&nbsp;<strong>4 cupcakes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine the total number of cupcakes needed, the order must be separated into two parts: the amount for the family and the amount for the friends. By calculating each part and then adding them together, we can find the final quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the order for the family is for &#8220;7 halves of a cupcake.&#8221; A half can be written as the fraction 1\/2 or the decimal 0.5. To find the total for the family, we multiply 7 by 1\/2. This gives us 7\/2, which is equal to 3.5 cupcakes. So, three and a half cupcakes are required for the family&#8217;s portion of the order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, the order includes an extra amount for &#8220;2 friends.&#8221; The text specifies that &#8220;They&#8217;ll each want a quarter of a cupcake.&#8221; A quarter can be written as the fraction 1\/4 or the decimal 0.25. Since there are two friends, we need to calculate the total for both of them by multiplying 2 by 1\/4. This results in 2\/4, which simplifies to 1\/2, or 0.5 of a cupcake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, to get the grand total, we combine the cupcakes for the family and the friends. We add the family&#8217;s 3.5 cupcakes to the friends&#8217; 0.5 cupcake. The sum of 3.5 and 0.5 is 4. Therefore, the total order is for exactly four whole cupcakes. The instruction &#8220;Make it Nimble&#8221; is most likely a request regarding the flavor or style of the cupcakes and does not affect the calculation of the quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/learnexams-banner4-88.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279970\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Correct Answer and Explanation is: The correct answer is&nbsp;4 cupcakes.
