Mario cut a pizza into 9 equal slices. He put a slice of pizza on each of 5 plates. What is the measure for the angle of the slices that are left?

360(4/9) = ?

I know that the answer by mess sue is not reasonable this is the correct answer 225degrees

To find the measure for the angle of the slices that are left, we need to first determine the number of slices remaining after putting one slice on each of 5 plates.

Step 1: Start with the initial number of slices, which is 9.
Step 2: Subtract the number of slices used for the plates, which is 5.
9 - 5 = 4

There are 4 slices left after putting one slice on each of the 5 plates.

Step 3: Divide the total degrees in a circle (360 degrees) by the number of slices to find the angle for each slice.
360 / 9 = 40

Each slice has an angle of 40 degrees.

Step 4: Multiply the angle per slice by the number of slices left to find the total angle for the remaining slices.
40 * 4 = 160

The measure for the angle of the slices that are left is 160 degrees.

To find the measure for the angle of the slices that are left, we need to determine how many slices are left and then calculate the angle for each remaining slice.

We know that Mario cut the pizza into 9 equal slices and put a slice on each of the 5 plates. Therefore, the number of slices that are left can be found by subtracting the number of plates from the total number of slices initially cut.

Remaining slices = Total slices - Slices on plates
Remaining slices = 9 - 5
Remaining slices = 4

Now, to find the measure for the angle of each remaining slice, we need to divide the total angle of the pizza by the number of slices.

Since we have 9 slices in total, each slice represents 360 degrees divided by 9.

Angle per slice = 360 degrees / Number of slices
Angle per slice = 360 degrees / 9
Angle per slice = 40 degrees

Therefore, the measure for the angle of each remaining slice is 40 degrees.
