   I think the math teacher is doing that on purpose.

   Is that question supposed to make you think … or hungry?

   Easy. Each slice of the cheese pizza will have a 45-degree interior angle; each slice of the pepperoni pizza will have a 72-degree interior angle; and each slice of the mushroom pizza will have an approximately 51-degree angle.

   And now I’m hungry for pizza! :(

   Gee, I figured any question asked of Peter involving pizza he’d get right automatically.

   Impossible to give a correct answer to all 3 questions, simply, because the statements are incomplete. “Equal parts” is missing in all of them.

   @HippyChippy

   “Equal parts” is implied. “Eighths” means “eight equal slices,” “fifths” means “five equal slices,” and “sevenths” means “seven equal slices.” It’s simple mathematics — fractions always imply equal parts.

   Pizza place by me cuts 12 slices to a cheese, 10 for a two topping pie, and eights for more than two topptings.

   I don’t know anybody who can accurately slice a pizza into fifths, let alone sevenths.

    No, when talking about pizzas, real life pizzas, “equal parts” is far from implied.
     
    Decades of loving pizza have taught me that people pretty much never cut a pizza in equal parts. Particularly the people at the pizza shops, who are (understandably) too busy to care if some pieces end up smaller than others.

    Famous Yogism:
    You want your pizza cut into six slices or eight?

    Better make it six. I don’t think I can eat eight slices.

    They must go to a “common core” school …

    I am guessing the question asks the sum of the interior angles of each slice, which is always 180 degrees regardless of the size of angles themselves.

    Much easier in radians. π/4, 2π/5, and 2π/7.

    360° divided by the number of slices, aka denominator…
