To determine how many pizzas it takes to make 26,833 pounds, we can set up a proportion. Let's assume that three pizzas weigh 2 pounds, so we have the following proportion:
(3 pizzas) / (2 pounds) = (x pizzas) / (26,833 pounds).
Now, we can solve for x:
3/2 = x/26,833.
To isolate x, we can cross-multiply:
3 * 26,833 = 2 * x,
80,499 = 2x.
Now, divide by 2 to find the number of pizzas, x:
x = 80,499 / 2,
x = 40,249.5.
So, it takes approximately 40,249.5 pizzas to make 26,833 pounds. Since you can't have a fraction of a pizza, you would need 40,250 pizzas to reach a total weight of 26,833 pounds.
