Marty ate 1/4 of his pizza and Luis ate 1/3 of his pizza. Marty ate more pizza than Luis. Is that possible? Explain.
yes it is.
If marty had more pizza dan luis provided marty didn't have 4(or it multiples ie 8 12 16 etc) and luis didn't have 3 or a corresponding multiple(6, 9 12 etc) den dey would have eaten the same quantity.
E.g if marty had 2 and luis had just 1 den marty ate 0.5 and luis 0.3. Meaning dat marty ate more dan luis.
One possible answer is Marty's pizza was much larger than Luis' pizza.
To determine whether it is possible for Marty to have eaten more pizza than Luis, we first need to compare the fractions 1/4 and 1/3.
To do this, we can find a common denominator for the fractions, which is the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 3. The LCM of 4 and 3 is 12.
Next, we can convert both fractions to have a denominator of 12.
For 1/4, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 3/12.
For 1/3, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4 to get 4/12.
Now we can compare the fractions.
Marty ate 3/12 of his pizza, while Luis ate 4/12 of his pizza.
Since 4/12 is greater than 3/12, Luis ate more pizza than Marty.
Therefore, it is not possible for Marty to have eaten more pizza than Luis.
