Murilo bought 8 pizzas for his baseball team to share equally after the game. Each pizza has 6 slices, and the expression representing the situation is 48/p Which of the following evaluations of the expression are correct? Check all that apply.

If p = 10, then each player will get 4 slices of pizza, with 2 slices left over.
If p = 12, then each player will get 4 slices of pizza, with no slices left over.
If p = 15, then each player will get 3 slices of pizza, with no slices left over.
If p = 15, then each player will get 3 slices of pizza, with 3 slices left over.
If p = 16, then each player will get 3 slices of pizza, with no slices left over.

Final answer:

Murilo has 48 pizza slices to share with his team. The correct evaluations of the slices each player will get are: 4 slices each with 2 slices left over if there are 10 players, and 4 slices each with no slices left over if there are 12 players. The other options are incorrect based on the total number of slices and players.

Step-by-step explanation:

Murilo bought 8 pizzas for his baseball team to share, and each pizza has 6 slices, making a total of 48 slices. To determine how many slices each player gets, we use the expression 48/p, where p represents the number of players.

If p = 10, each player would get 4 slices, with 8 slices being divided among 10 players, resulting in 2 slices left over.

If p = 12, each player would get 4 slices, with exactly 48 slices divided by 12 players, resulting in no slices left over.

If p = 15, each player would get 3 slices of pizza, with 45 slices being equally shared among 15 players, resulting in 3 slices left over, not none as one of the options incorrectly suggests.

If p = 16, it is impossible for each player to get 3 slices without having any leftover, because 16 times 3 is 48, and since there are no extra slices, this evaluation is also incorrect.

Thus, only the first two evaluations are correct: If p = 10, then there will be 2 slices left over, and If p = 12, then there will be no slices left over.

The second one, The fourth one, and the last one.
If p, the amount of people, is 12 then each person Will get 4 slices and there will be no slices left
If p, the amount of people, is 15, then each person will get 3 slices but there will be 3 slices left over
If p, the amount of people, is 16, then each person will get 3 slices of pizza with no leftovers.
