70 people will be served carrot cake.

Answer 2

Answer:

42 guests will get carrot cake.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of guests in wedding = 112

Fraction of guests to be served with chocolate cake = $\frac{5}{8}$

Fraction of guests to be served with carrot cake = $1-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{3}{8}$

Number of guest to be served with carrot cake:

$\frac{3}{8}\times 112=42$

Number of guest to be served with chocolate cake: 112 - 42 = 70
