Angela eats more cake

Angela ate 1/8 more cake

1/4 of the chocolate

3/8 of the Vanilla

no more Strawberry

Step-by-step explanation:

Angela: 4/8 + 2/8 + 4/8 = 10/8 = 1 1/4

David: 2/8 + 3/8 + 4/8 = 9/8 = 1 1/8

Chocolate: 4/8 + 2/8 = 6/8, 8/8 - 6/8 = 2/8 or 1/4

Vanilla: 2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8, 8/8 - 5/8 = 3/8

Strawberry: 4/8 + 4/8 = 8/8, 8/8 - 8/8 = 0
