Answer:

The amount of slices every person will eat

Step-by-step explanation:

We know each pizza has 8 slices and 10 persons will attend this party. If we consider a mean of 3 slices per person we'll need a total of 30 slices (10x3=30), now we divide these 30 slices between the 8 slices we haver per pizza in order to have the number of pizzas needed.


(30)/(8)=3.75

Since we can't order 3.75 pizzas we round this number to 4, this way we will have 32 slices. (4x8=32)

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
