or 2 x n
because if you cut it one time it will be two slices (1 x 2)
it you cut it two times it will be four slices (2 x 2)
''----------------
I am afraid that's not correct. Based on the above for 3 cuts, n=3 and number of slices would be 3x2=6, which is not the correct answer. If the the third cut intersects both the previous cuts at dfifferent points, you would get 7 slices.
And if you make a fourth cut in such a way that it intersects previous cuts at different points, you would get 11 slices. (Now slices may be crumb sized, that is a different matter, but mathematically that is the max slices you could make!!)
In general, maximum number of slices with n cuts would be (n^2 + n + 2)/2
What else can I help you with?
The maximum of pieces into which a pizza can be cut by making six cuts?
If you want an even-sized pieces, you can make a 7-slice pizza. Otherwise, the maximum is 22. (.5x^2 + .5x + 1 is the formula to determine the maximum number of slices if you use "x" cuts.)

What is the maximal number of pieces into which a pizza can be cut by making six cuts?
twelve
A pizza has been cut into 12 pieces has 3 pieces missing what percentage of pizza is left?
To find the percentage of pizza left, we need to calculate the number of remaining pieces. If the pizza was cut into 12 pieces and 3 pieces are missing, there are 12 - 3 = 9 pieces remaining. To find the percentage, we divide the number of remaining pieces (9) by the total number of pieces (12), which equals 0.75. To express this as a percentage, we multiply by 100 to get 75%. Therefore, 75% of the pizza is left.
Maximum number of pieces into which a pizza can be cut by making 7 cuts?
The Rule for this would be: (n2 + n + 2)/2 so: (72 + 7 + 2)/2 =(49 + 7 + 2)/2 =(58)/2 =29 29 is the answer.
If you cute a pizza into 4 pices what is the greatest number of pieces you could get?
4 quarters, 4 pieces.
What is the fraction of a whole pizza?
the number of pieces available / the number of pieces in totale.g.in a box there are 8 pizzas.8/8= 1
What is the maximum number of pepperoni slices that will fit on an 8 inch pizza?
8
Jon has a square pizza he cuts it into pieces along all the lines of symmetry of the square how many pieces does he have?
an infinite number
What is the largest number of pieces of pizza you could get with 5 straight cuts?
The largest number of pieces is 10. Each time you cut it across you divide the pizza into 2. dividing it by 2, 5 times gives us 10.
What is the minimum number of pieces can be obtained in a pizza using 3 cuts?
6 if cut like a normal pizza and 3 if cut without overlapping
How many pieces of pizza does a normal person have in a year?
i think a normal person has at least 100 pieces of pizza a year.
How do you cut a pizza into 5 pieces?
To cut a pizza into five pieces, start by making a straight cut through the center of the pizza, dividing it into two equal halves. Then, make another cut from the center to the edge, creating a wedge, and repeat to create a total of four equal wedges. Finally, take one of the wedges and cut it in half, resulting in five pieces in total. This method ensures that all pieces are relatively equal in size.
