Answer 1

Answer:

More pizza was eaten on the first table.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by converting to a single parameter. I prefer the percentage.

So first calculate percentage pizza eaten on table one.

Then calculate percentage of pizza eaten on the other table.

It is said that on one table a pizza was cut into six pieces and five were eaten.

So percentage of eaten pizza $=\frac{5}{6} *100=500/6=83.334$ .

Now, on the other table one pizza was cut into $15$ pieces and $11$ were eaten.

So the percentage of eaten pizza $=\frac{11}{15} *100=1100/15= 73.334$ .

Therefore more pizza was eaten on the first table, that is the pizza cut into six pieces were consumed more.

Hence the answer.
