Jessica and some friends have ordered two pizzas. One is a medium sized pizza while the other is a large. Jessica eats two slices of the medium sized pizza. Cindy eats two slices of the small pizza.  Jessica says since they both ate 2/8 of a pizza they ate the same amount. Jessica says she ate more.  Who is correct?

• Cindy is correct because both pizzas were cut into 8 pieces.
• They each ate 2 out of 8 pieces so they each ate 2/8; therefore they ate the same amount.
• They both ate 2/8, however the pizzas were not the same size so Cindy ate more than Jessica.
• They both ate 2/8, however the pizzas were not the same size so Cindy ate less than Jessica.
