Question

Max used 10 1/2 pounds of deli meat in one week at his sandwich shop. If he uses 1/8 of a pound of meat for each sandwich, how many sandwiches did he make with the deli meat ?

Answer 1

84

Explanation:

Quantity of deli meat for a week =
`10(1)/(2)=(21)/(2) pounds`

Quantity of meat required for one sandwich = 1/8 pound

The total number of sandwich prepared by the total quantity of meat is equal to the ratio of total quantity of deli meat to the quantity required to prepare one sandwich.

let n be the total number of sandwich prepared.

n = total deli meat / meat required for one sandwich

`n =((21)/(2))/((1)/(8))= 84`

Thus, the total number of sandwich prepared are 84.
