Question

If a $3$-pound pizza is sliced in half and each half is sliced into thirds, what is the weight, in ounces, of each of the slices? ($1$ pound = $16$ ounces)

• A. 4
• B. 6
• C. 8
• D. 16

Answer 1

The correct option is C 8

Total number of slices the pizza is cut into is $=6$ as each half is cut into three more slices.
Now, weight of each pizza slice $=\frac{\text{Total weight}}{6}=\frac{3\times 16}{6}=8$ ounches
