Answer:
Each pizza have 8 slices.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
At a party to celebrate a successful school play, the drama club bought 9 large pizzas.
Each pizza had s slices.
All together, there were 72 slices of pizza for the club to share.
Now, to find slices each pizza have.
Number of slices each pizza have = [tex]s.[/tex]
Number of slices of pizza altogether = [tex]72.[/tex]
Total number of pizza = [tex]9.[/tex]
Now, to write an equation of this situation:
[tex]9\times s=72[/tex]
[tex]9s=72.[/tex]
So, to get the slices each pizza have we solve the above equation:
[tex]9s=72[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 9 we get:
[tex]s=8.[/tex]
Therefore, each pizza have 8 slices.
