Harry ate 3/8 of a large pizza. Aidan ate 1/2 of a small pizz. Harry said that since 4/8 is equivalent to 1/2,he and Aidan ate the same amount of pizza. Is he correct? Explain

Harry is incorrect. If Harry only ate 3/8 of the pizza and Aidan ate 1/2 of the pizza, Harry ate less pizza. Because 1/2 equals 4/8 and 4/8 is greater than 3/8, Aidan ate more pizza than Harry.

Hope this helps!!
