6 pizzas
9 pizzas
12 pizzas

Answer 1

She can make 12 pizzas

Answer 2

Answer:  The correct option is

(D) 12.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Kate is making pizza. She puts 8 ounces of cheese on each pizza and has 4 24-ounce packages of cheese.

We are to find the number of pizzas that she can make.

The total number of ounces in 4 24-ounce packages of cheese is given by

$t_o=4\times24=96~\textup{ounces}.$

Now, in one pizza, she uses 8 ounces of cheese.

Therefore, the number of pizzas that can be made with 4 24-ounces of cheese is

$n=\dfrac{t_o}{8}=\dfrac{96}{8}=12.$

Thus, the required number of pizzas is 12.

Option (D) is CORRECT.
