how many times as heavier is the medium pizza than the small pizza?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Part 1:   4 times heavy

Part 2:  2  times heavy

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1:

We need to divide the weight of extra large by weight of small to get our answer.

Let's first convert to improper fraction:

6  1/2  =  13/2

1  5/8  =  13/8

Now,

[tex]\frac{\frac{13}{2}}{\frac{13}{8}}=\frac{13}{2}*\frac{8}{13}=4[/tex]

extra large pizza is 4 times as heavy as small pizza

Part 2:

Similar to part 1. Let's convert medium to improper fraction:

3  1/4  =  13/4

Now,

[tex]\frac{\frac{13}{4}}{\frac{13}{8}}=\frac{13}{4}*\frac{8}{13}\\=2[/tex]

Medium pizza is 2 times heavier than small pizza
