Marty ate 1/4 of his pizza and Luis ate 1/3 of his pizz.marty ate more pizza than luis.how is that possible?
Marty's pizza is larger than Luis's pizza.
you shared a pizza with two friends You ate 1/8 of the pizza.One of your friends ate 5/8 of the pizza and the other ate 1/8 of the pizza. What fraction of the pizza did you and your friends eat?
To understand how Marty ate more pizza than Luis despite eating only 1/4 of his pizza while Luis ate 1/3 of his pizza, we need to compare the fraction of pizza each person ate.
Marty ate 1/4 of his pizza, which means he consumed 1 out of 4 equal parts of his pizza. On the other hand, Luis ate 1/3 of his pizza, which means he consumed 1 out of 3 equal parts of his pizza.
To compare fractions with different denominators like 1/4 and 1/3, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 4 and 3 is 12.
Now, let's convert the fractions into twelfths:
- Marty ate 1/4 of his pizza, which is equivalent to 3/12 (multiply 1/4 by 3/3).
- Luis ate 1/3 of his pizza, which is equivalent to 4/12 (multiply 1/3 by 4/4).
Since 3/12 is less than 4/12, it means Marty ate less pizza than Luis.
Therefore, the initial statement that "Marty ate more pizza than Luis" is incorrect. It should be corrected to "Luis ate more pizza than Marty."
