jordanlund, 1 year ago Yeah, like I say, it’s not a standard. :) This was an argument we had with an idiot teacher on some kids homework back in the day. hellogiggles.com/confusing-pizza-math-problem/ “Marty ate 4/6 of his pizza, Luis ate 5/6 of his pizza. Marty ate more pizza than Luis. How is this possible?” Kid wrote “Marty’s pizza is bigger than Luis’ pizza” and got marked wrong. Even though the question stated it as fact and asked for an explanation. A 12" pizza would be 113 square inches. 4/6 would be 75.3 square inches. A 7" pizza would be 38.48 square inches. 5/6 would be 32 square inches.
