Q. 468−6g 468-6 g \newlineThe volume of a rectangular birthday cake is 468468 cubic inches. The expression above models the amount of cake remaining, in cubic inches, after serving g g guests. How much cake, in cubic inches, would remain after serving 5050 guests?
  1. Given Expression: We are given the expression 468−6g468 - 6g to represent the volume of cake remaining after serving gg guests. To find out how much cake remains after serving 5050 guests, we need to substitute gg with 5050 in the expression.\newlineCalculation: 468−6×50468 - 6 \times 50
  2. Multiplication Calculation: Now we perform the multiplication part of the expression first, according to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).\newlineCalculation: 6×50=3006 \times 50 = 300
  3. Subtraction Calculation: Next, we subtract the result from the total volume of the cake.\newlineCalculation: 468−300=168468 - 300 = 168
