A. 4one-half slices
B. 18 slices
C. 24 slices
D. 32 slices
To find the number of slices that can be made from a 12-inch long stick of pepperoni with a thickness of three-eighths inch, we need to divide the length of the stick by the thickness of each slice:
12 inches ÷ (3/8) inch/slice = 32 slices
Therefore, the answer is D. 32 slices.
