Three pizzas were cut for a party

Question

A pepperoni pizza was cut into 10 slices and 7 slices were eaten
A cheese pizza was cut into 20 slices and 13 slices were eaten
A mushroom pizza was cut into 8 slices and 5 slices were eaten
Order from greatest to least on which pizza was eaten the most
Cheese: 13/20
Pepperoni: 7/10
Mushroom: 5/8

Answer 1

To order the pizzas from greatest to least based on the amount eaten, we can compare the fractions of each pizza that were eaten.

1. Pepperoni: 7 out of 10 slices eaten \[ \frac{7}{10} = 0.7 \]
2. Cheese: 13 out of 20 slices eaten \[ \frac{13}{20} = 0.65 \]
3. Mushroom: 5 out of 8 slices eaten \[ \frac{5}{8} = 0.625 \]

Now we can compare these values:

• Pepperoni: 0.7
• Cheese: 0.65
• Mushroom: 0.625

Ordering them from greatest to least, we get:

1. Pepperoni: \(0.7\) (7/10)
2. Cheese: \(0.65\) (13/20)
3. Mushroom: \(0.625\) (5/8)

So the order from greatest to least amount eaten is: Pepperoni, Cheese, Mushroom.
