A baseball coach takes her team out for pizza every time they win a game. Not everyone can
come each time, so she orders the pizzas based on how many players are coming. After last
week's victory, she bought 3 small pizzas and 2 large pizzas, the perfect amount for the 19
players going out for pizza. This week, there were 16 players going, so she ordered 2 small
pizzas and 2 large pizzas, which was also just the right amount. How many people does each
size of pizza feed?
Each small pizza feeds
people, and each large pizza feeds
people.
