Ahh, fractions and word problems, the bane of my education (seriously, why do we bother with fractions when decimals are easier to compute and express?)
Imo fractions are way more simple in many cases than decimal numbers. Saying 1/3rd is way more useful than hitting someone with the 0.33333333333333.... Quick mental computations with fractions are also simpler in this case. Though this question (and questions like it) seem useless to me indeed.

Man, if you can't understand fractions, you don't actually understand the math, you're just trained to use a formula.
I understand fractions, I simply doubt their utility.
Saying shit like that implies you don't really get that they are the same thing.

who says, 5/6 is easy to mentally understand than 0.83־.

is a reasonable way to start thinking about arithmetics, and basically to start doing simple math IMO.

I had situations like this at least a few times a year in school.
I usually managed to convince the teacher I was right.
And yah this kid is almost certainly ND.
Not just the answer, but the handwriting screams dysgraphia.
It looks a lot like mine.

Reminds me of the stack of frozen mini pizzas you could get in the 80s.
Teachers that don't accept an unexpected but true answer are not teaching. The test taker had a correct take, one of the pizzas could be bigger than the other. It was not specified in the question. I am so glad I am out of school
Kid should've gotten half credit at the very least.
It really seemed like my fellow students lost their interest in math as we went through the grades here in the US.
I still remember a kid in 2nd grade who learned how Roman numerals worked because they were interesting. By grade 6, actively detested math.
Curious.

If I ate 1/4 of my pizza and my gf ate 1/1 of her pizza, but the hidden context is mine is from Costco and hers is from mod, who ate more pizza
I can't find it now and I do not think it really applies here. But someone stated that being high IQ could lead to academic problems as the high IQ learner would understand or see things that the professor could not causing the professor to mark it as incorrect.
I guess this is the idiocracy version of it.
I think this would more likely be an overworked and underpaid situation.

A good teacher sees being corrected as a learning experience, and encourages their students to question them respectfully.
Bad teachers see it as a challenge to their authority.
Marty's pizza is larger. 4/6ths of a 3kg pizza is more than 5/6ths of a 1kg pizza
