Question

Mario’s Pizzeria bakes olive pieces in the outer crust of its 20-inch (diameter) pizza. There is at least one olive piece per inch of crust. How many olive pieces will you get in one slice of pizza? Assume the pizza is cut into eight slices.

Answer 1

well, the total circumference is C = πd = 20π = 62.8 inches, so ...

Answer 2

A = pi * r^2
A = 3.14 * 10^2
A = 314 square inches

314/8 = 39.25 = 40 olive piece for each slice

Answer 3

Thanks guys! The correct answer is 7 because 62.8/8=7.85 so 7 is the least amount of olives!
