Answer 2

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.
