For this case we have that both pizzas are the same size, we want to know who of the two ate more pizza.

For this, we compare both fractions:

[tex]\frac {1} {8} * \frac {3} {3} = \frac {3} {24}\\\frac {1} {6} * \frac {4} {4} = \frac {4} {24}[/tex]

We observed that:

[tex]\frac {4} {24}> \frac {3} {24}[/tex]

Therefore, Mark ate more pizza than Jenna

Answer:

 Mark ate more pizza than Jenna

[tex]\frac {1} {6}> \frac {1} {8}[/tex]
