Given:

Weight of the cake = 712 kg.

Weight of each piece to be cut = 5⁄6 kg.

Formula Used:

Number of pieces = Total weight of the cake / Weight of each piece

Calculation:

Convert 712 into an improper fraction:

712 = (7 × 2 + 1) / 2 = 15⁄2

Number of pieces = (15⁄2) ⁄ (5⁄6)

⇒ Number of pieces = (15⁄2) × (6⁄5)

⇒ Number of pieces = (15 × 6) ⁄ (2 × 5)

⇒ Number of pieces = 90 ⁄ 10

⇒ Number of pieces = 9

The number of pieces that can be cut from the cake is 9.
