    This is the concept of algebra, To solve the question we proceed as follows;

    Number of chocolate cake left=23

    The number of pieces that was left after the cake was divided into 2 equal pieces will be:

    23*2

    =46

    Number of strawberry cake left = 56

    The number of pieces that was left after the cake was divided into 3 equal pieces will be:

    56*3

    =168

    Comparing the two fraction, the flavor that had larger pieces was strawberry cake;

    This cake was larger compared to chocolate by:

    168-46

    =122

    The answer is Strawberry by 122 of a cake
