Answer: I dont know if im right for sure but the answer should be 4

Step-by-step explanation

8 goes into 2 4 times (8 divided by 2 = 4)

Each child ate 2 pieces (4-2=2)

so therefore for it to be 2 pieces left over there were 4 kids I think.

Answer:

11

Explanation:

So each pizza has 8 equal slices but we don't know the amount pizzas but we can find it by doing this ⬇️

1 pizza= 8 slices

3 pizzas = x

you cross multiply it and it will end up as 3×8= 24 slices.

now each kid ate 2 pieces and there was a leftover of 2

therefore, 24-2= 22 pieces divided 2 is 11

or; 3×8=24-2=22÷2=11
