An ant walks around the edge of circular pizzas left on the counter of a pizza shop. On most days, it is shaken off the pizza before it manages to walk the complete distance. Quantity A: The distance covered by the ant when walking over four slices of a pizza with a diameter of 12 and 10 equally-sized pieces. Quantity B: The distance covered by the ant when walking over a complete personal pizza with a diameter of 6 inches.

Quantity A is larger. The relationship between the two quantities cannot be determined. Quantity B is larger. The two quantities are equal.

An ant begins at the center of a pie with a 12" radius. Walking out to the edge of pie, it then proceeds along the outer edge for a certain distance. At a certain point, it turns back toward the center of the pie and returns to the center point. Its whole trek was 55.3 inches.  What is the approximate size of the angle through which it traveled?

81.53° 128.21° 149.52° 91.44° 74.76°

If the outer arc of 1/12th of a circular pie is 7π, what is the area of 1/4th of the pie?
