Final answer:

Nalyah can make as many small cheese pizzas as the number of cheese blocks allows, based on the amount of cheese each pizza requires. Without knowing the exact amount needed for each pizza, we cannot provide a specific number, but if 1 block of cheese makes 1 pizza, she could make 9 pizzas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question relates to a Mathematics problem, specifically in the context of ratios or division to calculate the quantity that can be created with a given set of resources. In Nalyah's case, she wants to understand how many small cheese pizzas she can make with her 9 blocks of cheese, given that each pizza requires a certain amount of cheese. To provide a precise answer, we would need to know the amount of cheese each pizza requires.

Using the example provided, if creating a sandwich requires 2 slices of bread and 1 slice of cheese, and with 28 slices of bread and 11 slices of cheese, one can make 11 sandwiches, then the limiting factor is the cheese. Similarly, Nalyah will be able to make as many pizzas as the number of cheese blocks allows. If each pizza requires, for example, 1 block of cheese, she could make 9 pizzas. If each requires half a block, she would be able to make 18 pizzas, and so on. By understanding how to allocate resources efficiently, we can apply this concept of proportions to many different scenarios, such as calculating the number of pizzas that can be made with available cheese or computing how many cups of Romano cheese are needed for a series of salads, as in Henrietta's luncheon scenario.
