Answer:
6 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Representation:
Let c be the variable for the cake and p for pounds.
We can represent their relationship as
[tex]c = \frac{2}{3} p[/tex]
as given in the problem.
Now, the problem is looking for how many pounds when there are 4 cakes; This means that c=4, which we can plug in the representation. We get:
[tex]4 = \frac{2}{3} p[/tex]
Solve for the value of p:
[tex] \frac{4}{ \frac{2}{3} } = p[/tex]
[tex]4( \frac{3}{2} ) = p[/tex]
[tex]p = 6[/tex]
