The Kennedy Middle School cafeteria charges students $3 for 1 6 of a pizza. What is the cost per pizza?

3*16=48

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/16th of a pizza is 3 dollars, 1/16*16=1    3*16=48

Therefore,

1 pizza is $48

You really paying that much for one pizza

-8

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
