Video Transcription

A young kangaroo cut a pizza into 6 equal slices. After eating one slice, he arranged the remaining slices with equal gaps between slices. What is the degree measure of each gap?  Note that the sum of the angles of all 5 gaps is equal to the angle of one eaten slice, which is 60 degrees. Because we divide 60 into 5 pieces, we get a gap of 12 degrees.  Thus our answer is E, 12.
