There are three answers to this question. The first answer is Katie eats one third and Dan eats one quarter. The second is that Katie eats two thirds and Dan eats two fourths. The last is Katie eats the whole Pizza and Dan eats three fourths. But as the instructor wants to see fractions in the answer, I would use one of the first two answers :)
5/12 of the pizza remains.
How would I know that's way to much math to do for me! ( can someone order me a pizza?)
Yes, because two thirds, when converted to twelfths, equals eight twelfths. Edit: Not to sound patronising but it helps me to think of fractions using Pizza. Think of a whole pizza, and now split it into three even pieces. Take another pizza and split it into 12 even pieces. Now take your question, 2/3 and 1/12. Take two pieces away from the 3 piece pizza, and now 1 piece from the 12 piece pizza. Hope that helps, all I know now is that I am hungry for Pizza.
Yes, think of a pizza, if you split it into 4 pieces, and gave 3/4 of that pizza to your friend, you would only have 1/4. But if you gave your friend 2/4, or 1/2, you would both get an equal share, so yes, 3/4 is bigger than 2/4 .
No because to get one whole, you have to have four complete fourths; and scince 3/4 is not four complete wholes it is not one to make it one whole, add one more fourth to three fourths to get 4/4=1 whole. Note: you can make one whole out of any denominator, just have an equal numerator, it's like saying I have one pizza with five slices and none eaten which equals five slices of the five slices of pizza eaten which means you still have a WHOLE pizza left which equals 5/5 of pizza. Examples of a whole in fractions: 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, 4/4 extetera, extetera. So three fourths is not one because it is not the all of the slices left, some one ate one slice, talk about a waste of your pizza! :)
If both pizzas are the same size, they both have the same amount of pizza.

No - Draw a picture. If you cut a pizza into 3 pieces and take 1, the remainder isn't the same as if you take 1 piece out of a pizza that is cut into fourths.
Yes, think of a pizza, if you split it into 4 pieces, and gave 3/4 of that pizza to your friend, you would only have 1/4. But if you gave your friend 2/4, or 1/2, you would both get an equal share, so yes, 3/4 is bigger than 2/4 .
There is 3/4ths of a pizza left. There are 8 people waiting to eat the pizza. They want to share the remaining pizza equally. They also want to know the equivalent of how much each person would get of the original whole pizza.

No. Think about it this way: when you split a pizza into halves, do you get more than you would if you had to share it with an extra person, therefore splitting the pizza into thirds? Yes. The more people you have to share with, the less each person gets of that pizza.
Susan Gave 1/4 to her Brother and had 3/4 left then she gave 1/3 or 1 of the 3 quarters that was left to her mother. She then ate the 2/4 or 1/2 of the pizza
No, one third is in fact less than half. For example, if you had two pizzas and cut one pizza into two equal peices, that would have halves. Then, if you cut the other into three equal peices, you would have thirds. The thirds would be smaller than the halves.
