Answers:

26/7

3 5/7

==========================================

Step-by-step explanation

There are 26 cake slices that are green (7*3 = 21 slices from the first 3, then another 5 green slices, so 21+5 = 26 green total).

Each slice represents 1/7 of a circle. That's how we get to the improper fraction 26/7.

-------

The mixed number answer is 3 & 5/7 or 3 5/7.

Whole part = 3

Fractional part = 5/7

We have 3 full cakes plus an additional 5/7 of another cake.
