Mark and his friends order two pizzas of the same size .•The first pizza is cut into 6 slices of equal size .•The second pizza i
s cut into 4 slices of equal size. Each person plans to take 2 slices of pizza. Mark concludes that he would get more pizza by taking 1 slice from each pizza, instead of 2 slices from the first pizza. Explain why Mark is correct. Be sure to include a number comparison by using > or < in you explanation.
Mark is correct because taking a slice from each pizza would be 3/6 or 1/2 of the pizza but taking two slices of the first pizza, Mark wouldn't get as much because that is the same as 2/6 or 1/3 of the pizza. 1/2 > 1/3 therefore Marks conclusion is correct.
