Cupcake Math

1 cake mix = 1 cake = 9 pieces (sliced 3 times horizontal and 3 times vertical = 9 pieces). When doing cupcakes, you have to change the math. 1 cake mix = 24 cupcakes.

Then 1 piece of cake = 2.6667 cupcakes (24/9=2.6667).

Therefore, I could eat 3 cupcakes and it only equates to about 1 piece of cake. Relief.
