Q. Of the cakes at Alexandra's Bakery, 13\frac{1}{3} have chocolate frosting. Of the cakes with chocolate frosting, 35\frac{3}{5} have raspberry filling. What fraction of the cakes at Alexandra's Bakery have both chocolate frosting and raspberry filling?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline_\_ of the cakes
  1. Identify Chocolate Fraction: Step 11: Identify the fraction of cakes with chocolate frosting. We know 13\frac{1}{3} of the cakes have chocolate frosting. Calculation: No calculation needed here.
  2. Determine Chocolate-Raspberry Fraction: Step 22: Determine the fraction of chocolate frosted cakes that also have raspberry filling.\newlineWe know 35\frac{3}{5} of the chocolate frosted cakes have raspberry filling.\newlineCalculation: No calculation needed here.
  3. Calculate Combined Fraction: Step 33: Calculate the fraction of all cakes that have both chocolate frosting and raspberry filling.\newlineMultiply the fractions from Step 11 and Step 22.\newlineCalculation: (13)×(35)=315=15(\frac{1}{3}) \times (\frac{3}{5}) = \frac{3}{15} = \frac{1}{5}
