Answer:

1 2/5 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

2/5 bag         x bags

------------  = ---------------

1 cake          3 1/2 cakes

Change to an improper fraction

2/5 bag         x bags

------------  = ---------------

1 cake           7/2 cakes

Using cross products

2/5 * 7/2 = 1 *x

7/5 =x

Changing back to a mixed number

1 2/5 bags
