A tape diagram with 2 tapes of unequal lengths. The first tape has 3 equal parts. A curved bracket above the first tape is labeled Cheese pizzas. The second tape has 1 part of the same size as in the first tape. A curved bracket below the second tape is labeled Pepperoni pizzas.
Based on the ratio, if they bought 6 cheese pizzas, how many total pizzas did they buy?
