Question

jane ring cut a 6-ft. subway sandwich into 1 1/2-ft. sandwiches. how many sandwiches can be cut from the 6-ft. sub?'

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

You can rewrite 1 1/2 as 1.5. This just makes it easier if you use a calculator.

6/1.5 = 4

Let's just think of a different way to think about it:

If you add up two 1 1/2 ft sandwiches, (1.5 + 1.5), that equals 3. Two 3's equal 6. Again, the answer is 4.
