<think>Okay, let's tackle Albert's pizza problem step by step. Hmm, so he wants to know how much pizza he can eat in one day if he buys 2 large pizzas and 2 small pizzas and eats all of them. Alright, let's break this down.

First, the problem mentions large and small pizzas, each with a different number of slices. I need to figure out the total number of slices from both the large and small pizzas and then add them together to get the total slices Albert eats. 

Let me start with the large pizzas. It says each large pizza has 16 slices. Albert buys 2 of them. So, for the large pizzas, I should calculate 2 multiplied by 16 slices. Let me write that out: 2 * 16. Let me do that multiplication. 16 times 2 is 32. So, 32 slices from the large pizzas.

Now, moving on to the small pizzas. Each small pizza has 8 slices, and there are 2 of them. So, similar to the large ones, I need to multiply the number of small pizzas by the slices per small pizza. That would be 2 * 8. Calculating that, 8 times 2 is 16. So, 16 slices from the small pizzas.

Now, to find the total number of slices Albert eats, I need to add the slices from large and small pizzas together. That would be 32 slices (from large) plus 16 slices (from small). Adding those together: 32 + 16 equals 48. So, 48 slices in total.

Wait, let me double-check to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. For the large pizzas: 2 pizzas, each with 16 slices. 2*16=32. That seems right. Small pizzas: 2 pizzas with 8 slices each. 2*8=16. Adding 32 and 16 gives 48. Yep, that matches. So, if Albert eats all the pizza he bought, he would consume 48 slices in one day. 

I think that's all there is to it. The key was breaking down the problem into calculating slices per pizza size and then summing them up. No steps skipped, and the arithmetic checks out. So the final answer should be 48 pieces.

Albert wants to determine the total number of pizza slices he consumes in one day by eating all the pizzas he bought. Here's the breakdown:

1. **Large Pizzas**:  
   - Quantity: 2 pizzas  
   - Slices per pizza: 16  
   - Total slices: \( 2 \times 16 = 32 \)

2. **Small Pizzas**:  
   - Quantity: 2 pizzas  
   - Slices per pizza: 8  
   - Total slices: \( 2 \times 8 = 16 \)

3. **Combine Totals**:  
   - Large + Small Slices: \( 32 + 16 = 48 \)

**Verification**:  
Rechecking arithmetic confirms \( 32 + 16 = 48 \) slices.  

**Final Answer**: \(\boxed{48}\)
