A 6 inch personal pizza has 610 calories, with 240 of those from fat. A 16 inch pizza is cut into 8 slices. Estimate the number of calories in one slice of a 16 inch pizza.

Sagot :

Answer:

203 1/3  calories

Step-by-step explanation:

I make a proportion for inches of pizza to calories

[tex]\frac{6}{610}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{16}{x}[/tex]  I know that a 6 inch pizza has 610 calories, so I am trying to figure out how many calories are in a 16 inch pizza.

I can cross multiply to get

6x = (16)(610)

6x = 9760  Divide both sides by 6

x = 1626 [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]  This is how many calories are in a whole pizza.  Now I want to know how many calories are in 1 slice.  I would take this number and divide by 8.

1626 2/3 as an improper fraction would be

[tex]\frac{4880}{3}[/tex] ÷ 8 Which is the same as

[tex]\frac{4880}{3}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] =[tex]\frac{4880}{24}[/tex]=203 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
