Question

help plz

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 currently less than 0.01. The population of 15 blocks of the north side of town is 221 people per block, but there are already 32 pizza places in the area. The population of 22 blocks of the south area is 150 people per block, and there are 28 pizza places in the area. Where, if anywhere, should the Pretty Pizza Company open a new pizza place?

South side of town

North side of town

Both sides of town

Neither side of town

Answer 2

First thing you need to find is the number of people on each are

\(number\ of\ people=number\ of\ blocks\ \times \frac{number\ of\ people}{block}\)

do this for both areas (the north and south sides)

next, the question is asking for the ratio of the pizza places to the number of people on both areas..
so \(\Large ratio=\frac{number\ of\ pizza\ place}{number\ of\ people}\)
