Step 1
Find the amount of pizza that Marla ate
[tex]\frac{3}{8} + \frac{2}{8} =\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Step 2
Find the amount of pizza that Damien ate
[tex]\frac{3}{12} + \frac{5}{12} =\frac{8}{12}[/tex]
Step 3
Compare the fractions
Maria
[tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Multiply and divide by 3 both numerator and denominator
[tex]\frac{5}{8}=\frac{15}{24}[/tex]
Damien
[tex]\frac{8}{12}[/tex]
Multiply and divide by 2 both numerator and denominator
[tex]\frac{8}{12}=\frac{16}{24}[/tex]
we know that
Two fractions with the same denominator is greater than the one with the highest numerator.
[tex]\frac{16}{24} > \frac{15}{24}[/tex]
therefore
the answer is
Damien ate a greater fraction of a whole pizza
