What is the maximum number of pieces of birthday cake of size 4” by 4” that can be cut from a cake 16” by 16”? Choose the correct choice from the following choices
A) 5	B) 4	C) 16	D) 20	E) 25
The prompt is essentially asking for the maximum number of 4x 4 squares that can be cut from a larger 16 by 16 square. Since each 'row' and each 'column' of the larger square can be sub-divided into 4 'pieces' each, we have (4)(4) = 16 total smaller squares (at maximum).   16
