Maria cut a pizza into 8 equal slices she put a slice of pizza on 3 plates what is the measure of the angle for the angle for the slices that are left?

(5/8) * 360 = 225 degrees

Very clever.

A circle is 360 degrees. So you take 360 divided by 8 which equals 45. Then, multiply 45 by 5 to get 225.

What is 8 slices and one of each in degrees

To find the measure of the angle for the remaining slices, we first need to determine the total number of slices left after Maria put a slice on 3 plates.

Maria initially had 8 slices, and she put a slice on each of the 3 plates. Therefore, she used 3 slices, and we need to find out how many slices are left.

Total slices initially - Slices used = Slices left
8 - 3 = 5

So, Maria has 5 slices left.

To find the measure of the angle for each slice, we need to divide the full circle (360 degrees) by the number of slices. Since Maria initially cut the pizza into 8 equal slices, we divide 360 degrees by 8.

360 degrees ÷ 8 = 45 degrees

Therefore, each slice of pizza has an angle measure of 45 degrees.

Now, since Maria put a slice on 3 plates, we have to find the angle for the remaining slices.

Slices left × Angle measure per slice = Angle for remaining slices
5 × 45 degrees = 225 degrees

So, the measure of the angle for the slices that are left is 225 degrees.
