Question

Help!! I need someone to explain to me how to do this!!!

Misha wants to know how many pepperonis to put on his pizza. He was told that he should
use 1 pepperoni rounded to the nearest whole pepperoni for each .75 inches of diameter in a
pizza. Show an equation that would solve how many pepperonis he would need if his pizza has
a 8 inch radius.

Answer 1

Are you good at math!?

Answer 2

I'm pretty good

Answer 3

Ok...well I need you or someone to draw me the equation it is asking for while explaining what you are doing!!!

Answer 4

I have to show my work...and I don't know how!

Answer 5

I need the equation done first.... and then if you explain to me how to do it...I will show my work!

Answer 6

Ok, I know how to do this, but I'm not sure how to explain it, since it's more of a logical application of a concept.

Answer 7

Ok.. I will have some else come look at it!!

Answer 19

What are we doing? making pizza or something?

Answer 20

Well... I have this one math question to do.. it has to be done before the 13th...so I am doing it today!

Answer 21

1 Pepperoni per every .75 inches out of 8 inches..

Answer 22

So I need the equation written out that they are asking for.. and... I need the work shown!

Answer 23

`1 pepperoni` per `0.75 diameter`
should be equivalent to
`how many pepperonis` per `16 diameter`

Maybe we'll call the unknown number of pepperonis P,\[\large\rm \frac{1pep}{0.75dia}=\frac{P~pep}{16dia}\]
Do you understand why I used 16 instead of 8? :)

Answer 24

So you would have a TOTAL of an 8 inch radius (which means 16 inches diameter)
so that is \[\frac{ 1 }{ .75 } = \frac{ x }{ 16 }\]

Answer 25

So you would cross multiply which gives you .75x = 16 then you'd solve for x..

Answer 26

I don't understand why you copy and pasted everything I just did.... ugh

Answer 27

I didn't copy and paste. I was typing before you had been but you sent it first. My computer was running slow..

Answer 28

I kinda of understand why you used 16!!

Answer 29

So my equation would be...1/.75 = x/16

Answer 30

You use 16 because it gave you your RADIUS (which was 8). A radius is always HALF of the diameter, so you multiply 8 by 2.

Answer 31

Is that how I would write it out to my teacher!?

Answer 32

Your equation is .75x = 16

Answer 33

And then how would I show my work!?

Answer 34

The 1/.75 = x/16 is how you get your equation..

Answer 35

You show your work by dividing both sides by .75..

Answer 36

So I would say .75x=16

.75x/.75x=16/.75
