Question

Mario’s Pizza Parlor is preparing for a large party. They received an order for 2 dozen large pizzas. Each pizza is cut into 8 slices.
Part 1: How many total individual pizzas were ordered?
Part 2: How many total slices of pizza will be prepared?
Part 3: The ratio of pepperoni pizzas to veggie pizzas is 3:1. How many veggie pizzas are there?
Part 4: If the guests eat 5/6 of all the slices, how many slices are left over?

Answer 1

Part 1: 24 pizzas (2 dozen = 2 × 12).

Part 2: 192 slices (24 pizzas × 8 slices each = 192).

Part 3: 6 veggie pizzas (ratio 3:1 → 4 parts total, 1/4 of 24 = 6).

Part 4: 32 slices left (5/6 of 192 = 160 eaten, so 192 − 160 = 32).
