To find the area of one slice of pizza, we need to divide the total area of the large pizza pie by the number of slices.

The large pizza pie has an area of 123.6 square inches and is cut into 8 slices.

Area of one slice = Total area of pizza / Number of slices
Area of one slice = 123.6 square inches / 8 slices
Area of one slice = 15.45 square inches

Rounding 15.45 to the nearest tenth, we get 15.5 square inches.

So, the correct response is:

**15.5 square inches**
