A 14- inch pepperoni pizza is sliced into 8 equal pieces. One slice contained 352 calories. Write and solve a division equation to find out how many calories c there is n the whole pizza.

Respuesta :

Division equation is:

[tex]\frac{c}{8} = 352[/tex]

There are 2816 calories in whole pizza

Solution:

Given that,

A 14- inch pepperoni pizza is sliced into 8 equal pieces

One slice contained 352 calories

Therefore,

1 slice = 352 calories

Let "c" be the calories

Given that there are 8 equal pieces

Therefore, calories in 8 pieces are:

Calories in 8 pieces = 8 x calories in 1 piece

[tex]c = 8 \times 352[/tex]

Thus the division equation is:

[tex]\frac{c}{8} = 352[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]c = 352 \times 8 = 2816[/tex]

Thus there are 2816 calories in whole pizza
