To determine

To find: The number of pie that Nitarren could fit on the table.

Answer to Problem 6.7P

The number of pie that Nitarren could fit on the table is $18$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The diameter of the pie is $9\text{in}$ and the dimension of the table is $4\text{ft}\times 2\text{ft}$ .

The number of pie that Nitarren could fit on the table is calculated as,

  $\begin{array}{c}n=\frac{A_t}{A_p}\\ =\frac{4\times 2}{\frac{\pi }{4}{\left(\frac{9}{12}\right)}^2}\\ \approx 18\end{array}$

Thus, The number of pie that Nitarren could fit on the table is $18$ .
