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

            What people are trying to tell you is that when you’ve studied Logic at University level “basic assumptions” in elementary school level math aren’t always what they seem to be.

            I agree it’s not very relevant though, seeing as we know what level this particular math question is at.

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

            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.
