Answer 1

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: Calculate the total amount of ham needed for 10 sandwiches. This is 10 x 2 = 20 pounds.

Taylor is not correct, as he does not have enough ham to make 10 sandwiches with 2 pounds of ham in each.

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation: 5 pounds of ham would mean that 5 people get 1 pound, and 10 people would get 1/2 pound or 0.5 pounds of ham each.
