Comparison of fractions - a Katya Tale

It happened this morning. Mrs. Porcupyn was trying to explain fractions to Katya.

<em>Mrs. Porcupyn</em>: Which is larger: 1 over 2 (or one half) or 1 over 8 (or one eighth)?
<em>Katya</em>: I don't know.

<em>Mrs. Porcupyn</em>: OK, let me explain. If I divide a pizza into eight pieces, how big would each piece be?
<em>Katya</em>: One eighth.

<em>Mrs. Porcupyn</em>: If I divide a pizza into two pieces, how big would each piece be?
<em>Katya</em>: One half.

<em>Mrs. Porcupyn</em>: So, if I give one half to (big brother) Baab and one eighth to you, who would I be giving the bigger piece to?
<em>Katya</em>: Baab, (and continues without a pause) You <strong><em>ALWAYS</em> </strong>give him the bigger piece!
