Answer 1

the wording is not totally clear, but I think they mean 1/6 of all of the pizza is left over

they start with 9 pizzas, each cut into 8 pieces. you have a total of 9*8= 72 pieces

how many pieces are left over ? (this is step 1 to finding the answer)

Answer 2

wait im confused

Answer 3

you agree you have 72 pieces of pizza at the start ?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

a pizza is divided into 8 slices.

if you have 1 pizza you will have 8 slices
if you have 2 pizzas, you will have 16 slices (twice as many)
if you have 3 pizzas.... 24 slices

finally 9 pizzas will have 9*8 = 72 slices

Answer 6

now at the end of the party you have 1/6 of the slices left over. How many slices is that ?

Answer 7

you will have 1/6 of 72 slices

in "math" that is 1/6 * 72

Answer 8
