Mario’s Pizzeria bakes olive pieces in the outer crust of its 20-inch (diameter) pizza. There is at least one olive piece per inch of crust. How many olive pieces will you get in one slice of pizza? Assume the pizza is cut into eight slices.
Thanks guys! The correct answer is 7 because 62.8/8=7.85 so 7 is the least amount of olives!
Well, let's do some delicious math here!
If the pizza has a diameter of 20 inches, that means the circumference of the pizza (the outer crust) would be approximately 20π inches.
Since there is at least one olive piece per inch of crust, we can estimate that there would be around 20π olive pieces around the whole pizza.
If the pizza is cut into eight slices, then each slice would have about (20π/8) olive pieces.
However, since we're talking about funny olives, let's round it up to a more fun number. So, each slice of pizza in Mario's Pizzeria will have approximately "2.5" olive pieces.
Just a reminder, these are estimations based on the given information, and the actual number may vary. Enjoy your olive-filled slice of pizza!
To find out how many olive pieces will be in one slice of pizza, you first need to determine the total number of olive pieces in the entire pizza and then divide that by the number of slices.
The given information states that there is at least one olive piece per inch of crust in a 20-inch diameter pizza. To find out the total number of olive pieces in the entire pizza, we need to find the circumference of the pizza (length of the crust).
The formula to find the circumference (C) of a circle, given its diameter (D), is C = π * D. Plugging in the diameter, which is 20 inches, into the formula:
C = π * 20
C ≈ 3.14 * 20
C ≈ 62.8 inches
So, the circumference of the pizza is approximately 62.8 inches.
Now, we know that there is at least one olive piece per inch of crust. Therefore, the total number of olive pieces in the entire pizza will be approximately equal to the circumference of the pizza.
Total number of olive pieces = 62.8
Lastly, we need to divide the total number of olive pieces by the number of slices. In this case, there are eight slices.
Number of olive pieces in one slice = Total number of olive pieces / Number of slices
Number of olive pieces in one slice = 62.8 / 8
Number of olive pieces in one slice ≈ 7.85
Therefore, you can expect to find approximately 7 or 8 olive pieces in one slice of the pizza.
well, the total circumference is C = πd = 20π = 62.8 inches, so ...
A = pi * r^2
A = 3.14 * 10^2
A = 314 square inches
314/8 = 39.25 = 40 olive piece for each slice
