Answer 2

15 slices

Explanation:

Given: In a pizza eating participant can eat 3 slices of pizza in 2 minutes

To find: How many slices of pizza will he eat in 10 minutes.

Solution: It is given that a participant can eat 3 slices of pizza in 2 minutes.

To find how many slices of pizza will he eat in 10 minutes, we first need to find the number of slices he can it in 1 minute.

So, we have 2 minutes
`=` 3 slices

1 minute
`=(3)/(2)` slices

Now, to find the number of slices the participant can eat in 10 minutes we need to multiply the number of slices he can eat in 1 minute by 10.

So, number of slices he can eat in 10 minutes
`=(3)/(2)*10`

`=3*5`

`=15` slices

Hence, the participant can eat 15 slices in 10 minutes.
