Question

Another Density Problem?

Answer 1

The Pretty Pizza Company wants to open a new pizza place either on the north side of town or the south side of town. They want to open the pizza place where the ratio of pizza places per person is less than 0.008. The population of 15 blocks of the north side of town is 220 people per block, but there are already 26 pizza places in the area. The population of 22 blocks of the south area is 175 people per block, and there are 33 pizza places in the area. Where, if anywhere, should the Pretty Pizza Company open a new pizza place?

Answer 2

Wouldn't you divide 26 by 220 to find the ratio of pizza places per person in the North side? And 33/175 in the South side?

Answer 3

answers:

a. South side of town
b. North side of town
c. Both sides of town
d. Neither side of town

Answer 4

Im not sure but I think it might be North side of town.

Answer 5

But wouldn't 26/220 be .118 which is more that .008?

Answer 6

I'm just not sure because the way I did it, I got neither side of town as the answer but it marked it wrong..

Answer 7

For anyone with this problem, the answer is the North side of town :)

Answer 8

i got it right?
