Nadia

6/8 is 3/4 and both is 75% of a pizza but, the eighths of a pizza is a smaller slice of pizza.

4/4 is four slices of pizza

8/8 is eight slices of pizza They are different amounts.

Nadia is right because the amount of each slice could be different by a thin slice and can effect other slices too therefore Nadia is right
