Question

anthony ordered a small pizza. it was cut into 4 pieces and he ate 2 of them.his brother deon ordered a medium pizza and ate 4 of the 8 pieces.anthony says they both ate the same amount because 2\4 abd 4\8 both equal 1\2

Answer 1

The expression:

`(2)/(4)=(4)/(8)`

is correct and it means that both Anthony and Deon ate half of a pizza. But when you consider the sizes of the pizza, it's obvious that they did not ate the same amount.
