    So…

    (4/6)m > (5/6)l
    m > (5/4)l
    

    Which means Marty’s pizza is more than one and a quarter the size of Luis’ pizza. We can comfortably just compare the area, since we can assume a flat disk with equal height for a pizza.

    Assuming Luis’ pizza is a Domino’s Classic size of 25cm that’s an area of:

    (25cm / 2)² * π = (625cm² / 4) * π = 490.874cm²
    

    So Marty’s pizza should be more than 490.874cm² * 1.25 = 613.5925cm² for 4/6 of his to be greater than of 5/6 of Luis’, so:

    sqrt(613.5925cm² / π) * 2 = 13.975426964cm * 2 = 27.950853929cm
    

    Since Marty’s pizza is greater, let’s go with 28cm diameter… which happens to match exactly a Domino’s Medium size.

    That’s a very realistic scenario and the teacher is an absolute idiot for not understanding.
