    First find the area of the pizza:

    area = PI x r^2

    diameter = 16 inches ... radius = 16 / 2 = 8 inches

    area = 3.14 x 8^2 = 3.14 x 64 = 200.96 sq inches. Round to 201 square inches

    the pizza has 6 calories per square inch so now multiple the total square inches by 6 to get total calories:

    201 * 6 = 1206 total calories

    now divide total calories by 144 to find the number of slices:

    1206 / 144 = 8.375 so the pizza can be cut into 8 slices and each slice would have a little over 144 calories
