Marty ate 1/4 of a pizza. Rob ate 1/5 of a pizza. How could Rob have eaten more pizza than Marty?
Marty didn't eat his crusts ...
or, Rob had a larger pizza.
If you put one whole and put it next to 1/5 then it would be bigger,so it would be 1 whole and 1/5 is greater than 1/4.
To determine how Rob could have eaten more pizza than Marty, we need to compare the fractions.
First, let's convert 1/4 and 1/5 into fractions with a common denominator. The common denominator of 4 and 5 is 20.
Now, we can rewrite 1/4 as 5/20 (multiplied by 5) and 1/5 as 4/20 (multiplied by 4).
Since 5/20 is greater than 4/20, Marty actually ate less pizza compared to Rob. Therefore, the information provided is incorrect.
To determine how Rob could have eaten more pizza than Marty, we need to compare the sizes of the pizza portions they ate.
First, we need to find a common denominator to compare the fractions. The least common denominator (LCD) for 4 and 5 is 20.
Marty ate 1/4 of a pizza, which is equivalent to (5/5) * (1/4) = 5/20 of the pizza.
Rob ate 1/5 of a pizza, which is equivalent to (4/4) * (1/5) = 4/20 of the pizza.
Comparing the fractions, we can see that Marty ate 5/20 of the pizza, while Rob ate 4/20.
Since 5/20 is greater than 4/20, Marty actually ate more pizza than Rob. Therefore, the statement that Rob ate more pizza than Marty is incorrect.
