Answer:

3

Explanation:

9 people want 2 so 9*2=18

8*2= 16 not enough

8*3=24 enough

You can't order parts of a pizza and if you get less there won't be enough so if you get three pizzas there will be enough for all 9 people.

Answer: 3

9 people, each want 2

SO - 9 x 2 = 18

you have 8 slices in each pizza

2 pizzas = 16 (not enough)

3 pizzas = 24 (everyone get 2)

So 3 pizzas
