Solution

The limiting reagent is the ingredient that will run out first when making the pizzas.

  1. You have 2 crusts and each pizza requires 1 crust, so you can make 2 pizzas with the crusts.
  2. You have 4 scoops of tomato sauce and each pizza requires 1 scoop, so you can make 4 pizzas with the tomato sauce.
  3. You have 1 cup of cheese and each pizza requires 0.5 cups, so you can make 2 pizzas with the cheese.
  4. You have 9 slices of pepperoni and each pizza requires 9 slices, so you can only make 1 pizza with the pepperoni.

Therefore, the limiting reagent is the pepperoni (B. Pepperoni) because it will only allow you to make 1 pizza.
