Yaritza Hess · Answer 1

Frank

Step-by-step explanation:

So If Dave ate ¼ more than Frank, you would need to divide the denominator by the amount of pizzas, so if 12:4 is 3 he ate three more pizzas than Frank. If we do the same for Frank, ⅕ or 15:5=3

So the correct answer would be Frank because 12 is less than 15

My apologies if this wasnt explained very well
