Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit
remon@ani.social 2 months agoIt’s a basic assumption in these word problems.
When the question is “How is it possible?” then basic assumptions go out the window.
It’s a pure math exercise.
No, it even days “Reasonableness” above the problem.
Within the paramters of the question the kids answer is reasonable and correct.

I guess your math teacher failed you too.

No, they’re correct. You just fail logic so hard that you think math can erase a lie…

I’ve never seen so many people who are proud that they don’t understand the elementary-school level math, this is hilarious.

4/6 of an extra large pizza is more pizza than 5/6 of a personal pan pizza. How are you struggling with this?

We understand the INTENT of the question. The problem is as it is stated, the question does not limit the domain of correct answers to only what the teacher wants.

You’re the dope that doesn’t get the math.
4/6 x > 5/6 y
x > 5/4 y
Where this relation holds the statement is consistent. I think you should revisit some basics.
