Question

1. the ratio of pizza slices to tacos was 7 to 8. if there were 96 tacos, how many pizza slices were there?

Explanation:

Step1: Define the ratio relationship

Let the number of pizza slices be \( p \) and tacos be \( t \). The ratio \( \frac{p}{t}=\frac{7}{8} \). We know \( t = 96 \).

Step2: Solve for \( p \)

Cross - multiply: \( 8p=7\times96 \). Then \( p=\frac{7\times96}{8} \). First, \( 96\div8 = 12 \), so \( p = 7\times12=84 \).

Answer:

84
