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?)
Four sixths equals two thirds. It's like cutting a pizza into six slices and taking four of them - you're left with two thirds of the pizza. Math doesn't have to be complicated, honey!
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 .
If both pizzas are the same size, they both have the same amount of pizza.

Oh, dude, three thirds of 12 is just 12. It's like dividing a pizza into three equal slices and then being like, "Hey, how much pizza did I eat if I had all three slices?" Well, you had the whole darn pizza, my friend. So, yeah, three thirds of 12 equals 12.
Oh, dude, math time! So, a quarter of two thirds is like taking two thirds of a pizza and then only having a quarter of that. Basically, it's like having a tiny slice of a tiny slice of pizza. Enjoy your math snack!
Oh, dude, it's like adding fractions at a math party. So, one and two thirds plus one and two thirds equals... drumroll... four! Yep, that's right, four! So, if you've got one pizza with two-thirds eaten, and your friend brings another pizza with two-thirds eaten, you've got a full pizza party with four-thirds of pizza left!

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.
You basically want to know how many fourths there are in a third. So you just divide 1/4 into 1/3. This looks like ; (1/3)/(1/4) . Use the rule for dividing by a fraction ;"invert and multiply" to get : (1/3)/(1/4) = 4/3 . This is 1.333. So there are 1.333 fourths in a third which you can write as: 1/3 = 1.333/4.
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 .
