    Answer: Lucy ate more pizzas because he ate more inches of pizza than Anthony.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Anthony eats 2 slices of a large 18 inch pizza. Total number of slice in the 18 inch pizza is 8

    The size of one slice in inches would be total length of pizza / number of slices. It becomes

    18 / 8 = 2.25 inches

    Anthony ate 2 * 2.25 = 4.5 inches of pizza.

    Lucy eats 4 slices of a 12 inch pizza.

    Total number of slice in the 12inch pizza is 8

    The size of one slice in inches would be total length of pizza / number of slices. It becomes

    12 / 8 = 1.5 inches

    Lucy ate 4 * 1.5 = 6 inches of pizza.

    Lucy ate more pizzas because he ate more inches of pizza than Anthony.
