○=> Correct answer :


\color{plum}\bold{\tt\boxed{\tt\bold{2}} \: \: \bold{pepperoni \: pizzas}}

○=> Steps to derive correct :

Number of Pepperoni pizzas for 3 cheese pizzas = 1

This can be written in a ratio as = 3:1

Number of cheese pizzas the school band bought = 6

Let the number of pepperoni pizzas they bought be x.

Which means :


=\tt (3)/(1) = (6)/(x)


=\tt 3 * x = 6 * 1


=\tt 3x = 6


=\tt x = (6)/(3)


=\color{plum}\tt 2 \: pepperoni \:pizzas

▪︎Therefore, the school band bought 2 pepperoni pizzas.
