Question

There are two pizzas. Conor ate 1⁄4 of a pizza, Brandon 2⁄8, Tyler 3⁄4, and Audrey 4⁄8. Who ate the most of the two pizzas? A. Conor B. Tyler C. Brandon D. Audrey

Answer 1

Let us assume that each pizza has eight slices. Thus, the total number of slices is 8 x 2 = 16 slices.

Conor ate 1/4 of one pizza, that is
1/4 x 8 = 2 slices
Brandon ate 2/8 of one pizza, that is
2/8 x 8 = 2 slices
Tyler ate 3/4 of one pizza, that is,
3/4 x 8 = 6 slices
Audrey ate 4/8, that is
4/8 x 8 = 4 slices.

Thus, Tyler ate the most of the two pizzas.

Answer 2

Given conditions ⇒

Corner ate's 1/4 of the Pizza.
Brandon ate's 2/8 or 1/4 of the Pizza.
Tyler ate 3/4 of the Pizza.
Audrey ate's 4/8 or 1/2 of the Pizza.

Now, We need to assume the number of pieces in the Pizza. 
∴ Let the Number of Pieces in one Pizza be 4.
∴ Number of Pieces in 2 pieces = 2 × 4 = 8 Pieces.

Now, 
Corner ate = 1/4 × 8
 = 2 pieces.
Brandon ate = 1/4 × 8 
= 2 pieces.
Tyler ate = 3/4 × 8
 = 3 × 2
 = 6 Pieces.
Audrey ate = 1/2 × 8
 = 4 pieces.

In this we can see that the highest number of the Pieces in both th Pizzas are ate by Tyler, i.e. 6.


Hence, Option B. is correct.


Hope it helps.
