The Math Club buys 10 more pizzas than the Spanish Club.
The Math Club buys 2 more pizzas than the Spanish Club.

Answer 1

The Spanish club buys 2 more pizzas than the Math club

Explanation:

Math club: 1/4 of pizza per 1 person (16 people)

1/4 = .25

.25 * 16 = 4 (They have to buy 4 pizzas)

Spanish Club: 1/3 of pizza per 1 person (18 people)

1/3 = .33

.33 * 18 = 5.94 ((Rounded = 6)They have to buy 6 pizzas)

Who buys more?

Spanish club: 6

Math club : 4
