Question

SHA 14-inch pepperoni pizza is sliced into 8 equal pieces. One slice contains 352 calories. Write a division equation in the "Show Your Work" box and then solve algebraically to find how many calories, c, there are in the whole pizza. Put your final answer in the space provided.

Answer 1

2816 calories

Explanation:

The number of calories in the whole pizza, c, can be found by multiplying the number of calories in one slice by the total number of slices in the pizza. Since the pizza is sliced into 8 equal pieces, the total number of slices in the pizza is 8.

So, the equation is:

c = 352 calories/slice x 8 slices

We can simplify this equation by multiplying 352 by 8:

c = 2816 calories

Therefore, there are 2816 calories in the whole pizza.
