Answer:

Luis is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that,

Tito ate \frac{1}{4} of cheese pizza, \frac{3}{8} of pepperoni pizza and \frac{1}{2} of the mushroom pizza.

So, in total Tito ate = \frac{1}{4} +\frac{3}{8} +\frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{8} parts of the three pizza's.

Further, Luis ate \frac{5}{8} of cheese pizza and \frac{1}{2} of the mushroom pizza.

So, in total Luis ate = \frac{5}{8} +\frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{8} parts of the three pizza's.

Therefore, we can that both Tito and Luis ate \frac{9}{8} part of the pizza.

Hence, Luis is correct that they both ate the same amount of the pizza.

Answer:  Tito is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

Total part of pizza = 1 part of cheese pizza + 1 part of mushroom pizza + 1 part of pepperoni pizza = 3 part of a pizza

Part of pizza is eaten by Tito = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{2}=\frac{13}{8}

Part of pizza is eaten by Luis = \frac{5}{8} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{8}

Since, \frac{13}{8} part of 3 = \frac{39}{8}

And, \frac{9}{8} part of 3 = \frac{27}{8}

But, \frac{39}{8} > \frac{27}{8}

⇒ Tito ate more part of pizza than Luis.

If Tito did not eat pepperoni pizza then his part would be  \frac{3}{4} which is less than that of Luis.

Therefore, Tito ate more pizza than that of Luis because he ate pepperoni pizza.

Thus,  Tito is correct.
