Weighing and measuring

At the Grecian pizza parlour apprentice, Ambrose, is learning from his boss how to make lots of pizzas from a 2kg weight of dough. Ambrose must work out how to make 20 small pizza bases that are equal size and weight. He tackles the problem by breaking off pieces randomly, resulting in some large and some small pizzas. It is suggested he uses weighing scales. Three questions of increasing difficulty help to work out how to solve the problem including having a mixture of large and small pizzas to make from the 2kg dough.
