Pizza brings an interesting question and an even more interesting correction of the student's answer: the student seems to have used good logic.
I thought in the same way, to be sincere.
It is confusing.
Marty is told to have eaten 4/6 of his pizza.
Luis is told to have eaten 5/6 of his pizza.
Marty ate more pizza than Luis.
How is that possible?
The student answered: Marty's pizza was bigger.
That sounds really logical: You just have a larger radius for this pizza, and therefore his 4/6 ends up being more value in pizza than Luis' 5/6.
If you do not specify to the level you are thinking, the student has to win on this one.
If the intentions were saying that that was unreasonable, as the presenter states, the teacher would have to have written pizzas of the same size.
It says it is about being reasonable.
When you ask us why, reasonable is assuming that whatever you described is a fact, has already happened, not that you are lying or inventing.
Reasonable has to be where the average thinker goes with their thinking when reading.
Maybe those who know Mathematics would think like the boy did...
