Answer 1

1. answer is 3 pizzas

2. a) yes b) yes

Explanation:

1. If kwame eats 3 slices and the family eats 18 slices thats a total of 21 slices. Each pizza is cut into eighths so there has to be 8 slices to each pizza. There are 3 slices left over for a total of 24 when the eaten slices are added to the left over slices. 24 divided by 8 is 3 pizzas.
