Answer: 27 slices were left

Step-by-step explanation: If Mrs. Hilt had a total of 6 pizzas with 6 slices in each she would have 36 slices of pizza in total she sold 1/4 of the so set up you equation as 36/4 which equals 9 since it ask how many she had left you would subtract 9 from 36 {36-9=27)

Answer:

27

Explanation:

6 pizzas with six slices: 6*6=36---> she has 36 slices

1/4 of 36= how many she sold

1/4(36) or 36/4= 9

she sold 9 slices

36-9= the amount she has left

which is 27
