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 
. From that we see that the area of the circles of pepperoni is 
. The large pizza's area is 
. Therefore, the ratio is
