Answer: D

If there are 713 slices, and each pizza is divided into pieces, then you would divide.

713÷8=89.125. Round up and you get:

90.

Hope this helps and have a great day!!!

Answer 2

For this case we must indicate the number of whole pizzas needed for the company. For this we propose an equation.

Let "x" be the variable that represents the number of whole pizzas, then:

$8x = 713$

We divide between 8 on both sides of the equation:

$x = \frac {713} {8}\\x = 89,125$

90 pizzas are needed
