Question

Trudy orders 18 pizza pies that each have 16 slices. Micah orders 6 more pizza pies than Trudy. Which pair of equationd could be used to find the total number of pizza slices Trudy and Micah order?

Answer 1

Micah: 16 x (18 + 6)

Trudy: 16 x 18

Explanation:

Trudy orders 18 pizza pies, and each have 16 slices right? So 18 x 16 = 288. so then Micah orders 6 more which means 18+6= 24 x 16. (Remember the 16?)

This is the equation:

16 x (18 + 6)

16 x 24

-------------------------------------

Trudy: 16 x 18

Micah: 16 x (18 + 6)

Answer 2

12

Explanation:

if 18 pizza = 16 slices

then 6 more pizza = x

16 ×6 =18× x

216=18x

18. 18

x= 12
