Question

marty ate one fourth of hiis pizza and luis ate one third of his pizza. marty ate more more pizza than luis. how is that possible?

Answer 1

To understand how Marty could have eaten more pizza than Luis, let's break down the fractions and compare them.

Marty ate one-fourth of his pizza, which can be represented as 1/4.
Luis ate one-third of his pizza, which can be represented as 1/3.

To compare the fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for 4 and 3 is 12.

Now, we can convert the fractions to have a denominator of 12:
- Marty's fraction becomes 3/12 since we multiplied both the numerator and denominator by 3.
- Luis's fraction becomes 4/12 since we multiplied both the numerator and denominator by 4.

Now, we can easily see that Marty ate 3/12 of his pizza, while Luis ate 4/12 of his pizza.

Since 4/12 is greater than 3/12, Luis actually ate more pizza than Marty did.

So, it's not possible for Marty to have eaten more pizza than Luis based on the given information. It seems there might be an error in the statement or an inconsistency in the question.
