Question

A 6 inch personal pizza has 600 calories, with 240 of those from fat. A 14 inch pizza is cut into 8 slices. Estimate the number of calories in one slice of a 14 inch pizza.

Answer 1

175 calories per slice.

Explanation:

Since 6 inches has 600 calories, I multiplied it by 2 to find out 12 inches= 1,200 calories. Then I divided that 600 calories by 3 to find out how many calories is in 2 inches of pizza which was 200. I added 1200+200 which gave me the amount of calories in 14 inches of pizza. I then divided that number by 8 representing amount of slices in the 14 inches giving me 175.
