The PTA will order____cheese pizzas if they order 8 pepperoni pizzas.

Answer 1

Answer:

The PTA will order 6 cheese pizzas.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a 3:4 ratio for cheese pizzas to pepperoni pizzas.

If the number of pepperoni pizzas doubles, then the number of cheese pizzas must double as well.

So, 3:4 becomes 6:8.

The PTA will order 6 cheese pizzas.
