HELP!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Every 16 minutes, 22 more pizzas were set out on the buffet.

Step-by-step explanation:

At 11:00 am, x would be equal to 0, and there would be 15 pizzas on the buffet line. Then, every 8 minutes, 11 more pizzas are added to the buffet line. So in 16 minutes, 22 pizzas will be added to the buffet.

$\frac{16}{8} =2\\(11)(2) = 22$
