Question

Tareq is 7 years old and his older sister Fatma is 10. Tareq challenges his sister to a pizza eating contest. They each make an identical extra extra large pizza. Tareq eats 2/8 of his pizza. His sister Fatma eats 3/4 of her pizza. Who ate more pizza and how do you know?

Answer 1

Fatima ate more pizza

Explanation:

Assume

The total pizza = 1

Tareq eats 2/8 of his pizza

Tareeq = 2/8 of 1

= 2/8 * 1

= 2/8

= 0.25 of his pizza

Fatma eats 3/4 of her pizza

Fatima = 3/4 of 1

= 3/4 * 1

= 3/4

= 0.75 of her pizza

The pizza is identical in size

Therefore,

Fatima ate more pizza

I got to know this by finding the decimal of fraction eaten and picking the larger decimal value as who ate more pizza
