Question

You should eat at least 2,000 calories per day. Today, you have eaten a total of 1,200 calories and you plan to eat pizza for dinner. If each slice of pizza is 352 calories. How many slices of pizza should you eat for dinner?

Answer 1

Explanation:

We know you need at least 2,000 calories, and we have eaten 1,200 of those. To find how many we have left we need to subtract the calories we have eaten from our goal (Shown below)

`2000 - 1200 = 800` calories we have left.

Now we know each slice of pizza is 352 calories, and we need 800 calories. If we divide 800calories remaining by 352calories a slice, we can find how many slices of pizza we need to eat.

`800 / 352 = 2.27` slices of pizza needed to meet the minimum calorie requirement.

Good luck getting exactly 2.27 slices of pizza. Because we need a minimum of 2.27 slices, we should round up to 3 slices to get all the calories needed for the day.

Answer: 3 slices of pizza for dinner
