Given:
2 shapes: rectangle (tray) and circle (cake tin)

We need to find the area of each shape.

We need to convert mm to cm. 1mm = 0.1cm
600mm x 0.1cm/1mm = 60cm
500mm x 0.1cm/1mm = 50cm

Area of the Tray = 60cm * 50cm = 3,000cm²

Area of the cake tin = π r²
r = d/2 = 25/2 = 12.5cm

Area of the cake tin = 3.14 * (12.5cm)²
Area of the cake tin = 3.14 * 156.25cm²
Area of the cake tin = 490.625cm²

Area of the tray ÷ Area of the cake tin = number of cake tins that fit
3,000cm² ÷ 490.625cm² = 6.11 or 6 cake tins.

Only 6 cake tins Jenny can fit on the oven tray at one time.
