You have a pizza with a diameter of 6 1/3 in., and a square box that is 6.38 in. Is the box big enough to fit the pizza inside?

Pizza diameter D is given in mixed form:


\begin{gathered} D=6(1)/(3)\text{ in} \\ in\text{ fraction form:} \\ D=(19)/(3)\text{ in} \\ In\text{ decimals, } \\ D=6.33\text{ in} \end{gathered}

Now, me must compare D with the lenght of the square box.

Since the lenght of the box is L=6.38 in. Hence, the box is big enough to

fit the pizza.


\begin{gathered} \\ \\ \\ \end{gathered}
