The chocolate cake is larger by 1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

The chocolate cake had 2/3 (or 4/6) left. The strawberry had 5/6 left.

The baker divided the chocolate cake by two.

4/6 divided by 2=1/3 (or 6/18)

The baker divided the strawberry cake by three.

5/6 divided by 3=5/18

6/18 is larger than 5/18

The chocolate cake is larger by 1/18
