A pizza with a diameter of 12 inches has an area of . Therefore, 2 pizzas with diameters of 12 iches each both have a total area of squared inches.
Using proportions, we can determine how many students two 12-inch diameter pizzas can feed. By making the amount of students equal to S, we get the following:
Cross-multiplying, we get:
Therefore, S, or the amount of students that two 12-inch diameter pizzas will serve is
