Answer:

In fraction, Balu ate 1/2 of the whole cake

Step-by-step explanation:

Balu and Pumba shared 2/3 of a cake.

Balu eats three times as much cake as Pumba.

So let's take the 2/3 they shared as a whole.

Let's Balu share be x

And pumbs share be y

X = 3y

But x + 3y = 2/3

Since x = 3y

Y = x/3

x + x/3 = 2/3

4x/3 = 2/3

X = (2*3)/(4*3)

X = 2/4

X = 1/2

Balu ate half of the whole cake

In fraction, Balu ate 1/2 of the whole cake
