Isabella made two types of cakes: chocolate and vanilla. She cut all of the

chocolate cakes into 7 slices each and all of the vanilla cakes into 9 slices

each. If Isabella ended up with the same total number of slices of each type

of cake, what is the minimum number of slices of each type?

Answer:

To get the same total number of slices of each type of cake, the answer must be the LCM (lowest common multiple) of 7 and 9.

Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70...

Multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90...

As you can see so far, 63 is the lowest common multiple of both 7 and 9.

Thus, the answer is 63

Answer: 63 ( but give the person above me brainliest because they explained it better )

Step-by-step explanation:

If the cakes have the same amount of slices then we must find the lowest common multiple which is 63

So both cakes have 63 slices
