Answer:

It’s going to be 1/3 because if you divide 2/6 by 2/2 you will get 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps

Solution:

Note that:

  • Tim = 2x/3 [x represents the cake]
  • Tim's mother = 2x/6 [x represents the cake]

Let's subtract 2x/6 from 2x/3 to see how much more Tim ate than his mother.

  • 2x/3 - 2x/6
  • => 2x × 2/3 × 2 - 2x/6
  • => 4x/6 - 2x/6
  • => 2x/6 = x/3

Tim ate more than his mother by x/3 of the cake.
