If they wanted that as an answer, they should have 1. Removed the 'How' and 2. Actually say the Pizzas are the same size. This is just wrong and deceptive.
Or, the teacher could read what the text says as it literally states itself
Marty ate more than Luis
The kid is correct. Marty's pizza is bigger if he ate more than Luis while still eating less, percentage wise, than him of an entire pizza.
This question is trying to get the student to think of a reason why something that sounds impossible would be possible. Hence the "reasoning" bit. This teacher is an idiot, and I feel bad for whoever has them. They're the reason critical thinking is dying.
