🍕 Part 1: Pizza Recipe Scaling

1. Mario's Pizza Shop uses this recipe for their classic Margherita pizza base (serves 4 people):

Original Recipe:

• 3/4 cup flour

• 1/2 cup water

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 2/3 cup tomato sauce

a) A customer wants to order a pizza for 8 people (double the recipe). Calculate the new ingredient amounts:

b) Another customer wants a smaller pizza for 2 people (half the recipe). Calculate the new ingredient amounts:

c) For a large family order of 12 people (triple the recipe), what amounts would you need?

🧀 Part 2: Pizza Topping Fractions

2. At the pizza shop, they track what fraction of each pizza has different toppings. Circle the correct equivalent fraction:

a) 1/4 of a pizza has pepperoni. This is equivalent to:

2/8

3/12

4/16

All of the above

b) 3/6 of a pizza has mushrooms. This simplifies to:

1/2

1/3

2/4

6/12

3. Which of these fractions are equivalent to 2/3? Check all that apply:

4/6

6/9

8/12

10/15

12/18

🎨 Part 3: Visual Pizza Fractions

4. Draw a circular pizza divided into 8 equal slices. Shade 3/8 of the pizza to show pepperoni coverage:

5. Draw another circular pizza divided into 6 equal slices. Shade 2/6 of the pizza, then write the simplified fraction below:

6. If you have a pizza cut into 12 slices and you eat 4 slices, what fraction of the pizza did you eat? Simplify your answer.

📝 Part 4: Pizza Shop Word Problems

7. The pizza shop sold 24 pizzas today. If 1/3 were vegetarian, 1/4 were pepperoni, and the rest were supreme, how many of each type were sold?

Vegetarian pizzas: _______ pizzas

Pepperoni pizzas: _______ pizzas

8. Sarah ordered a pizza and ate 2/8 of it for lunch and 3/8 of it for dinner. What fraction of the pizza did she eat in total? Simplify your answer.

9. The pizza chef needs to make sauce for the day. The recipe calls for 2/3 cup of tomato paste for every 4 pizzas. If they need to make 12 pizzas, how much tomato paste is needed?

🔗 Part 5: Fraction Matching

10. Match each fraction with its equivalent simplified form:

1. 6/8

2. 4/12

3. 9/15

4. 10/20

A. 1/2

B. 3/4

C. 1/3

D. 3/5

🏪 Part 6: Create Your Own Pizza Menu

11. Design a pizza menu for your own pizza shop. Include at least 4 different pizzas with fractional topping descriptions (e.g., "1/2 the pizza has extra cheese, 1/4 has olives"). Show how you would scale one recipe to serve different numbers of people.

12. Reflection: Explain how understanding equivalent fractions helps when working in a pizza shop or restaurant kitchen.
