A coil of wire was found lying in the shipyard. Megan wondered if it would be enough to temporarily hold some steel plates in position while they were being welded. The wire was braided steel 1-cm thick. The coil was neatly wound in a single layer around a wooden spool 1.3 meters in diameter. The wire spanned a distance of 56 cm on the spool. She needed 365 meters of wire to do the job. Is the coil of wire long enough for her purposes?

Devin made seven pepperoni pizzas for a party. He cut the pepperoni himself from a sausage that was 13 inches long and 1 3/4 inches in diameter. The pizzas were each 14 inches in diameter. His friend Taylor is a real math whiz (a math freak some say) and took the opportunity to calculate what percent of the total pizza surface area was covered by pepperoni. The pepperoni was cut into slices 1/4 of an inch thick. Each pizza has the same number of whole pepperoni slices (he ate any extra pepperoni!). What percent of the total pizza surface area was covered by the pepperoni? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
