Surprisingly the student came up with the only logical answer.
Also whoever wrote the question have worded it 2/3 of one pizza and 5/6 of the other.because the number should have been converted.

Student right, teacher wrong

Without having stated the sizes of the pizza -  any outcome was possible. I saw that right away.

Now - if the problem would have included information on the relative sizes of the pizzas - well - THEN you could give a definitive answer. This would also involve the VOLUME of the pizza (although, for all practicality - area is close enough).

Luis must have eaten the remaining 2/6 or 1/3 of Marty's pizza because he liked his toppings better and combining that with what he ate of his own pizza he ate more then Marty
