Answer:
5/7, Younger brothers had the larger share by 3/7
Step-by-step explanation:
We know Shagun ate 2/7 of the cake and we also know that there were 7 pieces in total, as it is out of 7. So, we subtract 2/7 from 7/7.
7/7-2/7=5/7
This means that her younger brothers had the larger share. To find out by how much, we take Shagun's amount and subtract it from the younger brothers amount.
5/7-2/7=3/7
The younger brothers had the larger share by 3/7.
