$\color{plum}\bold{\tt\boxed{\tt\bold{2}} \: \: \bold{pepperoni \: pizzas}}$

Number of Pepperoni pizzas for 3 cheese pizzas = 1

This can be written in a ratio as = 3:1

Number of cheese pizzas the school band bought = 6

Let the number of pepperoni pizzas they bought be x.

Which means :

$=\tt (3)/(1) = (6)/(x)$

$=\tt 3 * x = 6 * 1$

$=\tt 3x = 6$

$=\tt x = (6)/(3)$

$=\color{plum}\tt 2 \: pepperoni \:pizzas$

▪︎Therefore, the school band bought 2 pepperoni pizzas.
