Answer:

No, you ate 8/15 of the cake

Explanation:

So we know that some greedy person took 1/5 of your delicious cake.

So you know that you only have 4/5 of it left of 1 cake - 1/5 cake = 4/5 cake

So since you're hungry, you eat 2/3 of the 4/5 of the cake you are left with:

SO : 2/3 * 4/5 = 8/15

ANSWER: 8/15
