Answer: 172 1/12

Step-by-step explanation: First find the amount of calories that are in each inch which can be done by dividing 590 by 6, which equals 98 1/3. Next, take 98 1/3 and multiply it by 14, which equals 1376 2/3. And finally, divide 1376 2/3 by 8, which equals 172 1/12. Therefore there are 172 1/12 calories per slice.
