The answer is 1. 3/8x = 510

We know this because if we are eating 3/8 of the pizza, and we assume that the total number of calories in the pizza is x, then 3/8 of x will give us the amount of calories that we ate, which is 510. Therefore when we write this equation we get:
3/8x = 510 (3/8 of x is equal to 510)
