Answer:


10x.

Given:

The science club plans to purchase "x" pizzas to feed the students at the science fair.

Each pizza contains ten slices.

Each student at the science fair gets one slice.

Question asked:

Write an algebraic expression for the total number of students that the science club can feed pizza.

Solution:

Total number of pizzas plan to be purchased by Science club =
x

As each pizza contain = 10 slices.


x pizzas contain =
10* x=10x\ slices

As each student gets 1 slice, and we have

Number of students fed from
10x pizza slices =
10x

Therefore, the total number of students that the science club can feed pizza is
