five slices of pizza = 5.50, so 5.50÷5 = $1.10 is how much one slice of pizza cost

1.10×2 = $2.20 for 2 slices of pizza

1.10×10= $11.00 for 10 slices of pizza

1.10÷2= $0.55 for half a slice of pizza

Answer:

The answer is 2 slices cost $2.20, 10 slices cost $11,0 and half a slice $0.55

Explanation:

Firstly, we want to know how much a slice of pizza cost.

To be able to know, we can divide the cost of the five slices over the five slices:

5.50/5 = $1.10 for each pizza.

To know how much 2 slices cost, you multiply the price of a slice and multiply it by 2

1.10×2 = $2.20 for 2 slices.

To know how much 10 slices cost, you multiply the price of a slice by 10

1.10×10 = $11.0 for ten slices

And to know how much half a slice cost, you divide the price of a slice by 2

1.10/2 = $0.55 for half a slice
