Answer:

Part 1: 4 times heavy

Part 2: 2 times heavy

Explanation:

Part 1:

We need to divide the weight of extra large by weight of small to get our answer.

Let's first convert to improper fraction:

6 1/2 = 13/2

1 5/8 = 13/8

Now,


((13)/(2))/((13)/(8))=(13)/(2)*(8)/(13)=4

extra large pizza is 4 times as heavy as small pizza

Part 2:

Similar to part 1. Let's convert medium to improper fraction:

3 1/4 = 13/4

Now,


((13)/(4))/((13)/(8))=(13)/(4)*(8)/(13)\\=2

Medium pizza is 2 times heavier than small pizza
