Respuesta :

The cheese pizza is represented by 3 rectangles while the pepperoni pizza is represented by 1 rectangle.

Therefore, the ratio of cheese to pepperoni pizza is:

3 : 1

This means that if there are 3 cheese pizzas, then there will be 1 pepperoni pizza

Therefore, since they bought 12 cheese pizzas, it means that:

CCC + CCC + CCC + CCC = 12 cheese pizzas ( where C is cheese)

P + P + P + P = 4 pepperoni pizzas ( where P is pepperoni)

Thus, they bought 4 pepperoni pizzas
