 QUESTION 1

The world’s largest round Pizza

The chefs might come from Italy, but the largest pizza ever was made right here in South
Africa in 1990! It was 37,4 m wide (diameter), used 4 500kg of flour. It was created by five
Italian chefs and it weighed over 25 tons.

The process of baking such a massive pizza is as arduous as it sounds. The five chefs spent
over 48 hours baking the dough in over 5 000 batches.

1.1 Calculate the circumference of this pizza by using the formula 2r where   3,142
(3)

1.2 How many tons of flour did they use? (2)

1.3 They used 1 488 pounds (lb) of margarine.

1.4 Calculate the area of the pizza. (formula: r 2 where   3,142 ) (3)

1.5 What percentage is this area of a hectare? (1 hectare=10 000m2) (3)

1.6 How many working days did the 5 men work in total, if a working
day is 8 hours long? (2)

1.7 How many years ago did they set this record? (1)

 QUESTION 2

Felix Baumgartner set the record for the highest manned balloon flight and fastest
speed of free fall at 1357,64 km/h, making him the first human to break the sound
barrier (343,2m/s) outside of a vehicle. The mission took place on 14 October 2012
when Baumgartner landed in eastern New Mexico after jumping from a world record
