D
Two and one-fourth times as many cheese pizzas were made as pepperoni pizzas. Eight pepperoni pizzas were made. How many cheese pizzas were made?

Answer 1

D. 2¼ as many as pepperoni pizzas were cheese pizzas.

2¼ × 8 = 18 cheese.

Explanation:

214 times 8 is 1712 pizzas. That's enough for 3000 people!
