It’s a basic assumption in these word problems. For instance, when they ask you to compare 2/4 and 2/8, you know that you can transform 2/4 to 4/8 and see that it’s greater than 2/8 (0.5 > 0.25). It’s a basic school program, there are no tricks here. It’s a pure math exercise.
We understand the INTENT of the question. The problem is as it is stated, the question does not limit the domain of correct answers to only what the teacher wants.
Now please… get your head out of your ass and develop better logic skills.

When the question is “How is it possible?” then basic assumptions go out the window.
No, it even days “Reasonableness” above the problem.
Within the paramters of the question the kids answer is reasonable and correct.
I guess your math teacher failed you too.
No, they’re correct. You just fail logic so hard that you think math can erase a lie…
I’ve never seen so many people who are proud that they don’t understand an elementary-school level math, this is hilarious.
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.

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