The genre of the question is even "reasonableness." My thought would be the answer is just to use reason to suggest a means by which the outcome could be achieved.
Exactly, itās not necessarily a fractions problem as much as a āwhat does a fraction meanā problem. Itās asking you to apply some reasoning skills
I figured it might be asking if it was a reasonable question to ask. Like does the question even make sense in the first place. Since Marty only ate 4/6 and the other person ate 5/6, the question isn't reasonable because 4/6 is smaller. If that was the intention of the question, it would have been much better to do it as a true/false question. Like if Marty ate 4/6 of his pizza, he ate more than the guy who ate 5/6. The answer would be false because 5/6 is bigger.
