The number of slices in a pie is directly proportional to the diameter of the pie pan. An eight-inch pan has a diameter of 8 inches, a nine-inch pan has a diameter of 9 inches, and a ten-inch pan has a diameter of 10 inches. Therefore, an eight-inch pan yields 4 slices, a nine-inch pan yields 6 slices, and a ten-inch pan yields 8 slices.
