Cake Problem: Equivalent and Simplified Fractions, The

Bill Wise, illustrated by Davilyn Lynch

Farmer Ed brings a chocolate cake to Sheep, Chicken, and Goat, but its unusual shape makes sharing it difficult. Goat suggests dividing the cake so that Goat receives half while Sheep and Chicken split the remaining portion. The animals consider whether that arrangement is the best way to share it. Their comic-style problem explores equivalent and simplified fractions through the challenge of cutting a cake fairly.
