To determine the size of the pizza you need to make, let's follow these steps:
1. Determine the area needed for one friend:
Each friend is to have a 25-square-inch slice of pizza.
2. Calculate the total area needed for all friends:
You have 10 friends, and each one needs a 25-square-inch slice of pizza.
Mathematically, the total area needed can be calculated by multiplying the number of friends by the area needed per friend:
[tex]\[
\text{Total area} = 10 \, (\text{friends}) \times 25 \, (\text{square inches per friend})
\][/tex]
3. Perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[
\text{Total area} = 250 \, \text{square inches}
\][/tex]
So, you need a total of 250 square inches of pizza to satisfy all 10 friends.
4. Round to the nearest whole number:
Since the total area of pizza calculated is already a whole number (250), there is no need to round further.
Therefore, you need to make a pizza that is 250 square inches to ensure that each of your 10 friends gets a 25-square-inch slice.
