Answer: 10 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the pecan pie is a circle, you can use this formula:
Where "r" is the radius and 
is the central angle of the arc in radians.
If the pecan pie has been cut into 8 equal pieces then the central angle is:
Now you know the arc length and the central angle, then, you can solve for "r" from :
Substituting values, you get that the radius of the pecan pie rounded to the nearest whole number is:
2/3 = (approximately) 0.667
18 divided by 2/3 is approximately 26.98.
So, 27 pieces can be made.
The answer is 48, 51, 52, and 45
