5. Alex found a word problem in Sowder! "Jerry and Joel bought a large rectangular pizza. Jerry ate of the pizza and Joel ate of it. Then James came over and ate of the remaining pizza. 3 4. Who ate more pizza, Joel or James?" "Hang on," says Alex. "This problem must be broken. 40% + 33% + 75% is way over 100%, and you can't eat more than 100% of a pizza." While I respect Alex's number sense, what went wrong here? Explain, using quantities.
