A recipe to make a cake calls for three fourths of a cup of milk.

Mary used this cake as the first layer of a wedding cake. Then the amount of milk will be

⇒ 3/4

The second layer was half the size of the first layer. Then the amount of milk will be

⇒ 3/4 x 1/2

⇒ 3/8

And the third layer was half the size of the second layer. Then the amount of milk will be

⇒ 3/4 x 1/2 x 1/2

⇒ 3/16

Then the total amount of milk is used for the entire wedding cake will be

⇒ 3/4 + 3/8 + 3/16

⇒ 21/16

The total amount of milk is used for the entire wedding cake will be 21/16.
