Answer:

They should order 16 pieces of pizza

If each pizza has 6 pieces they should order 3 pizzas, but there will be 2 pieces left over.

Exact decimal answer: 2.6 pizzas

Fraction: 2&2/3

Explanation:

8*2=16

16=6x (x stands for number of pizzas)

16/6=6x/6

2.6=x

Round up to three whole pizzas to ensure everyone recieves the desired amount of pizza
