Question

if there are 65 pepperonis on 3 large pizzas, how many pepperonis are on 9 large pizzas? ? pepperonis

Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio of pizzas

First, we find how many times 9 pizzas is compared to 3 pizzas. So we calculate $9 \div 3 = 3$. This means 9 pizzas is 3 times the number of 3 pizzas.

Step2: Calculate the number of pepperonis

Since the number of pepperonis should be proportional to the number of pizzas, we multiply the number of pepperonis on 3 pizzas (which is 65) by the ratio we found in Step 1. So we do $65 \times 3 = 195$.

Answer:

195
