The relationship between the students illustrates the use of ratios.

1646 students are stuck eating pineapple pizza

Let:

[tex]P \to[/tex] Pineapple

[tex]C \to[/tex] Cheese

[tex]S \to[/tex] Sausage

So, the ratio is represented as:

[tex]C : S : P = 5 : 5 : 32[/tex]

The number of students is:

[tex]Students = 2160[/tex]

The number (n) of students eating pineapple pizza is:

[tex]n = \frac{P}{C + S + P} \times Students[/tex]

This gives

[tex]n = \frac{32}{5+5+32} \times 2160[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{32\times 2160}{42 }[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{69120}{42 }[/tex]

[tex]n = 1645.71428571[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]n = 1646[/tex]

Hence, 1646 students are stuck eating pineapple pizza
