Answer 1

Answer:

a) 72 = 9s

b) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

a)  

There are 9 pizzas, "s" slices each, and since there are 72 slices in total, we get the equation;

72 = 9s

b)

Now that we know the function, we just have to divide 72 by 9 (since there are now 9 pizzas), and we get 8, meaning, that there are 8 slices for each pizza.
