Question

The diameter of a small pizza is 16 centimeters this is 2 centimeters more than two fiths of the diameter of a large pizza find the diameter of the large pizza

Answer 1

35 cm

Explanation:

Diameter of small pizza = 16

Let Diameter of large pizza = x

Diameter of small pizza = 2/5(x) + 2

2/5(x) + 2 = 16

(2x / 5) + 2 = 16

2x / 5 = 16 - 2

2x / 5 = 14

multiply both sides by 5

2x = 14 * 5

2x = 70

Divide both sides by 2

x = 70/2

x = 35

Diameter of large pizza = 35 mm
