    Sorry I’m still trying to get my head around the question. What is the answer the teacher expected/ the question the teacher meant to ask? 🤔

      It makes more sense when you remove the fractions, but I assume they were working on them.

      It’s easier this way: “John ate 4 slices of pizza. Dave ate 5 slices of pizza. John ate more slices of pizza than Dave. How is this possible?”

      The answer they’re looking for is: “This is not possible because 5 slices of pizza is more than 4 slices of pizza.”

      It’s a really bizarre question, and is poorly worded, but the concept could be really important depending on the age/ability of the student.

      It’s like teaching a kid to fact check I guess.

        Oh wow. I love questions asking how when the answer is it’s not … Thank you for the explanation 😅
