Question

If a 3-pound pizza is sliced in half and each half is

sliced into thirds, what is the weight, in ounces, of
each of the slices? (1 pound = 16 ounces)
A) 4
B) 6
C) 8
D) 16​

Answer 1

first multiply 3 into 16 which is 48 bcz 1 pound is of 16 ounce

then

divide it by ⅓

⅓ into 48

simplify it

16 is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:8

Explanation:

1. The total weight of the pizza in ounces = 3(lbs) × 16(ounces/lb) = 48 ounces

2. If each 1/2 is sliced into thirds then the entire pie is cut into 6 slices.

3. Divide the total weight of the pizza (in ounces) by the total number of slices

48 ÷ 6 = 8 ounces/slice
