Jose says that he ate more maybe because he had different, thicker toppings than what Ella had.

Jose could be right because he could have had a bigger pizza even though they both ate 1/2 of a pizza.

either jose's pizza was bigger or it was cut uneven!

Both Ella and Jose could be right. Ella might think that they ate the same pizza when actually Jose might of ate one that's bigger, or that's thicker,or more toppings.

jose is right because they had diffrent pizzas so they could be a diffrent size

Anonymous said...

They could have eaten the same amount if they had the same size pizza but if they had different size pizzas they would have eaten adifferent amount of pizza so Ella could have had the bigger pizza so she cold have eaten more then Jose but Jose also could have had the bigger pizza so it is hard to tell who could have eaten a bigger amount of pizza so either could have eaten more pizza then the other.

It depends if his pizza was bigger, but if the pizzas were the same size they would have eaten the same.

Jose could have eaten more because it doesn't tell the size of the pizzas. Ella's could have been a small and Jose's could have been a large there for he would have eaten more then Ella.

Jose's pizza was probably bigger, or he had a thicker peice.

Anonymous said...

Ella could be right cause her pizza could have been smaller then Jose's but it could have had more toppings on it so that they would weigh the same amount.

Anonymous said...

maybe ella's pizza was cut different. like hers was cut in 4ths and his was cut in eights so he ate more pizzas but they both ate the same.

If Jose's pizza was larger, he had more even though the both had halves.
