Allison measured the diameters of large pizzas made by different chefs at her restaurant.
A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is unlabeled with entries Miguel, Megan, Noya, Tony. Column 2 is labeled Diameter in inches with entries thirteen and five-eighths, fourteen and three-sevenths, thirteen and seven-ninths, fourteen and two-fifths.
Which chef made the largest pizza?
To determine which chef made the largest pizza, we need to compare the diameters of the pizzas.
Looking at the measurements in column 2, we can convert the fractional measurements to decimals for easier comparison:
- Thirteen and five-eighths = 13.625 inches
- Fourteen and three-sevenths = 14.4285 inches
- Thirteen and seven-ninths = 13.7778 inches
- Fourteen and two-fifths = 14.4 inches
Comparing the decimals, we can see that the largest pizza has a diameter of 14.4285 inches. Therefore, the chef who made the largest pizza is Megan.
To determine which chef made the largest pizza, we need to compare the diameters listed in the second column of the table.
The diameters for each chef are as follows:
- Miguel: thirteen and five-eighths inches
- Megan: fourteen and three-sevenths inches
- Noya: thirteen and seven-ninths inches
- Tony: fourteen and two-fifths inches
Comparing the diameters, we can see that Megan made the largest pizza with a diameter of fourteen and three-sevenths inches.
