Kaiden Steele · Answer 2

Answer:8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The total weight of the pizza in ounces = 3 (lbs) * 16 (ounces/lb) = 48 ounces

2. If each 1/2 is sliced into thirds then the entire pie is cut into 6 slices.

3. Divide the total weight of the pizza (in ounces) by the total number of slices

48 : 6 = 8 ounces/slice
