Wesley Holder · Answer 1

First find the circumference of the whole pizza using the equation C = πd, where C is the circumference of the pizza and d is the diameter of the pizza.

C = π16in

C ≈ 50in

Then divide the circumference by the number of pieces, in this case ten, to get your final answer.

50in / 10slices = 5in of crust per slice.
