Question

Mary bakes a chocolate cake, a vanilla cake, and a strawberry cake. Each cake is the same size. Angela eats four-eighths of the chocolate cake, two-eighths of the vanilla cake, and two-fourths of the strawberry cake. David eats one-fourth of the chocolate cake, three-eighths of the vanilla cake, and one-half of the strawberry cake. Who eats more cake, Angela or David? How much more cake? How much of each cake is left? Show all your mathematical thinking.

Answer 1

If we make them all quarters then 4/8, 2/8 and 4/8 which is 10/8 so 1 and 2/8 or 1 and a quarter
David would have 2/8, 3/8 and 4/8 which would be 9/8 which is 1 and 1/8 so Angela eats the most
