Problem
Six pepperoni circles will exactly fit across the diameter of a 
-inch pizza when placed. If a total of 
circles of pepperoni are placed on this pizza without overlap, what fraction of the pizza is covered by pepperoni?
Solution
The pepperoni circles' diameter is 2, since 12/6= 2 From that we see that the area of the 24 circles of pepperoni is 2/2 24π = 24π The large pizza's area is 6^2π Therefore, the ratio is 24π/36 =2/3
