Yes. Let's say the larger waffle is twice the size of the smaller waffle. 1/4 of the smaller waffle would be 2/8 of the larger waffle. 2/8 is equal to 1/4 so it's still technically the same size.

I’m not sure if there’s supposed to be a diagram bit I would suppose the answer would be no.

The answer is not as 1/4 of a smaller waffle is not the same as 1/4 of a larger waffle. The percentage of the waffle you take may be the same but since the larger waffle is bigger, 1/4 of the larger waffle would be bigger in size than 1/4 of the smaller waffle.

I think this is the answer but I’m not sure there is a diagram but yea, my answer would be no.
