4/8 = 1/2

3/6 = 1/2

1/2 = 1/2

Mika ended up with 4 slices of chocolate and 3 slices of vanilla.

Further explanation.

1/8 is not equal to 1/6

2/8 = 1/4 is not equal to 2/6 = 1/3

3/8 is not equal to 3/6 = 1/2

4/8 = 1/2 IS equal to 3/6 = 1/2

4/8 = 1/2 is not equal to 4/6 = 2/3

5/8 is not equal to 5/6

6/8 = 3/4 is not equal to 6/6 = 1

8/8 = 1 is equal to 6/6 = 1

The minimum fraction what they are equal is 1/2 of each.
