To solve the problems in parts 1-4, we will calculate the relevant values step-by-step.

### Part 1 (a)
**Cost per slice of the 12​-in.-diameter pizza:**

1. **Total Cost:** $19.00
2. **Number of Slices:** 8

**Cost per Slice:**
\[
\text{Cost per slice} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Slices}} = \frac{19.00}{8} = 2.375
\]

Rounded to the nearest hundredth:
\[
\text{Cost per slice} = \$2.38
\]

### Part 2
**How many square inches of pizza are in one slice of the 12​-in.-diameter pizza:**

1. **Radius of the pizza:** Diameter / 2 = 12 in / 2 = 6 in
2. **Area of the pizza:**
\[
\text{Area} = \pi r^2 = 3.14 \times (6)^2 = 3.14 \times 36 = 113.04 \text{ in.}^2
\]

3. **Area per slice:**
\[
\text{Area per slice} = \frac{\text{Total Area}}{\text{Number of Slices}} = \frac{113.04}{8} = 14.13 \text{ in.}^2
\]

### Part 3 (b)
**Cost per slice of the 8​-in.-diameter pizza:**

1. **Total Cost:** $14.00
2. **Number of Slices:** 6

**Cost per Slice:**
\[
\text{Cost per slice} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Slices}} = \frac{14.00}{6} \approx 2.3333
\]

Rounded to the nearest hundredth:
\[
\text{Cost per slice} = \$2.33
\]

### Part 4
**How many square inches of pizza are in one slice of the 8​-in.-diameter pizza:**

1. **Radius of the pizza:** Diameter / 2 = 8 in / 2 = 4 in
2. **Area of the pizza:**
\[
\text{Area} = \pi r^2 = 3.14 \times (4)^2 = 3.14 \times 16 = 50.24 \text{ in.}^2
\]

3. **Area per slice:**
\[
\text{Area per slice} = \frac{\text{Total Area}}{\text{Number of Slices}} = \frac{50.24}{6} \approx 8.3733
\]

Rounded to the nearest hundredth:
\[
\text{Area per slice} = 8.37 \text{ in.}^2
\]

### Final Answers
1. Part 1: Cost per slice of the 12​-in.-diameter pizza = **$2.38**
2. Part 2: Area in one slice of the 12​-in.-diameter pizza = **14.13 in.²**
3. Part 3: Cost per slice of the 8​-in.-diameter pizza = **$2.33**
4. Part 4: Area in one slice of the 8​-in.-diameter pizza = **8.37 in.²**
