Leo ate 3/8 of a small pizza, while Mia ate 1/4 of a large pizza. Their friend Jordan claimed that Leo must have eaten more because 3/8 is larger than 1/4. Is Jordan’s claim necessarily true? Explain your answer.
- Although 3/8 is greater than 1/4 when looking at the fractions alone, these fractions represent parts of pizzas that might be very different in size.
- Without knowing how big the small pizza is compared to the large pizza, we can’t determine who actually ate more pizza in terms of total amount.
