joseph had a quarter of a cookie. ellen had a half of a different cookie. The peice joseph had was larger. how could ellens peice be smaller? explain. 

Sagot :

My theory is the cookie could be smaller because Ellen's cookie might have been smaller as a full than Joseph's. 

For example, Joseph's cookie may have 24 pieces, while Ellen's cookie may have been 4 pieces.
The Cookie that joseph was eating was larger. Half of a small cookie is smaller than a quarter of a larger cookie.
