the pretty pizza company wants to open a new pizza place on either the north side of town or the south side of town. they want to open the pizza place where the ratio of pizza places per person is less than 0.01. the population of 15 blocks of the north side of town is 225 people per block, and there are already 36 pizza places in the area. the population of 22 blocks of the south area is 275 people per block, and there are 37 pizza places in the area. where, if anywhere, should the pretty pizza company open a new pizza place? south side of town north side of town both sides of town neither side of town

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate north - side population

The north - side has 225 people per block and assume we consider the same number of blocks for comparison. Let's first calculate the ratio for the north - side. The population of an unspecified number of blocks is not relevant as we are calculating the ratio per person. The number of pizza places on the north - side is 36. Let's assume the number of people in a certain area of the north - side. If we consider the population density information, we can calculate the ratio of pizza places per person. The ratio of pizza places per person on the north - side $r_{n}=\frac{36}{225\times n}$ (where $n$ is the number of blocks). For simplicity, if we assume $n = 1$, $r_{n}=\frac{36}{225}= 0.16$.

Step2: Calculate south - side population

The south - side has 275 people per block and 37 pizza places. The ratio of pizza places per person on the south - side $r_{s}=\frac{37}{275\times n}$. Assuming $n = 1$, $r_{s}=\frac{37}{275}\approx0.135$.

Step3: Compare with the threshold

The company wants the ratio of pizza places per person to be less than 0.01. Since $r_{n}=0.16>0.01$ and $r_{s}=0.135 > 0.01$.

Answer:

Neither side of town
