Explanation & Answer

the bigger cake has a length twice that of the small one, that means that linear factor is 2.

from the definations:

area factor= (linear factor)^2

volume factor=(linear factor)^3

therefore to find the area factor then;

area factor=(linear factor)^2

area factor=(2)^2

area factor=4

hence the bigger cake serves (6*4) people

=24 people
