Answer 1

2 people can be fed by a large 16 inch pizza.

Explanation:

This question can be solved by a simple rule of three.

This 8-inch pizza is the right size for one person.

So each 8 inch pizza feeds one person.

How many people can be fed by a large 16-inch pizza?

8 inch - 1 person

16 inches - x people

`8x = 16`

`x = (16)/(8)`

`x = 2`

2 people can be fed by a large 16 inch pizza.
