marty ate 4/6 of his pizza and luis ate 5/6 of his pizza. marty ate more pizza than luis. how is this possible?

Your teacher is a moron. The problem clearly states "Marty ate more pizza." So either Marty had a bigger pizza or whoever created this problem was lying.

He had a bigger pizza to start?

If your teacher was smarter than my pet rock she would know that the kid had a bigger pizza DUH

Your teacher is an idiot. If Marty's pizza is larger, than eating 4/6 of that pizza is more than 5/6 of a smaller pizza. Of course, Marty's pizza must be much bigger. Just imagine this: 4/6 of an entire city is greater than 5/6 of a house, for example...By the way, what city is your school in, so I can be sure to avoid it in the future...

I wonder if banana would rather have 4/6 of Bill Gates wealth or 5/6 of a destitute's wealth

martys pizza is bigger because the little it is the bigger pieces

To understand how Marty ate more pizza than Luis despite both of them eating fractions greater than a whole pizza, it is crucial to compare the relative sizes of the fractions they consumed.

First, let's find the common denominator for the fractions 4/6 and 5/6 to ease the comparison. The common denominator for 6 and 6 is 6 itself.

To determine the equivalent fractions with a denominator of 6, we can multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the same number.

For Marty's fraction, 4/6, since the denominator is already 6, we do not need to make any changes.

For Luis' fraction, 5/6, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1. This gives us 5/6.

Now we can compare the fractions:

Marty: 4/6
Luis: 5/6

Since the denominators are the same, to determine which fraction is larger, we compare the numerators.

In this case, Luis's numerator (5) is greater than Marty's numerator (4), indicating that Luis ate more pizza than Marty.

Therefore, the statement that "Marty ate more pizza than Luis" is incorrect based on the information provided.

bannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaazznnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a 3rd grader and I was given the same math question on March 5, 2014. My answer was and still is Marty's pizza was bigger than Luis. My teacher said that my answer was wrong because Luis ate 5/6 of his pizza. I tried to reason with her because the problem stated that Marty ate more than Luis. She did not change my math grade because she insisted that my answer is wrong and stating that 5/6 is greater than 4/6. Since I don’t want to be disrespectful, I accepted my grade “90/A”.

haaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd. but it is not possible cause 4/6 can't beat 5/6.
