The complete question is

A pizza with a diameter of 13 inches is cut into 12 equal slices. Jayden eats 1/3 of the pizza, representing an area of ____ square inches. Carson eats 5 slices of pizza, representing an area of ____ square inches.

Answer:

Jayden consume pizza with an area of 44.2498 inches squared.

Carsen consumes pizza with an area of 55.3125 inches squared

Explanation:

Diameter is 13 inches,

Radius is diameter divided by 2

Radius = 13/2 = 6.5 inches

Area = pi times radius squared

Area = 3.142 x 6.5^2 = 132.7495.

For jayden, 1/3 of this will be

1/3 x 132.7945 = 44.2498 inches squared.

For carsen, the 12 slice of pizza will each have an area of 132.7945/12 = 11.0625 inches squared,

5 of those slices will have area of 5 x 11.0625 = 55.3125 inches squared.
