Answer:

The pizza fit inside the box

Step-by-step explanation:

we have  that

The diameter of the pizza is

[tex]D=10\frac{1}{3}\ in[/tex]

The wide of the square box is

[tex]b=10.38\ in[/tex]

we know that

For the pizza to fit inside the box, it must be fulfilled that

[tex]D \leq b[/tex]

Convert 10.38 in to fraction number

[tex]10.38(\frac{100}{100})=\frac{1,038}{100}=\frac{519}{50}[/tex]

Convert [tex]10\frac{1}{3}\ in[/tex] to an improper fraction

[tex]10\frac{1}{3}=\frac{10*3+1}{3}=\frac{31}{3}[/tex]

Multiply the diameter of the pizza by 50 both numerator and denominator

[tex]\frac{31*50}{50*3}=\frac{1,550}{150}\ in[/tex]

Multiply the wide of the box by 3 both numerator and denominator

[tex]\frac{519*3}{50*3}=\frac{1,557}{150}\ in[/tex]

compare

[tex]\frac{1,550}{150}\ in < \frac{1,557}{150}\ in [/tex]

therefore

The pizza fit inside the box
