What are the chances that Mary will get a sandwich with cheese?"

The chances of Mary getting a sandwich with cheese is 1/2.

How to calculate the number of different ways?

The number of different sandwiches is calculated by multiplying all of the possibilities for each material being used.

rye or white bread: 2 options

ham or turkey: 2 options

cheese or no cheese: 2 options

So the number of different sandwiches = 2*2*2 = 8.

4 have cheese and 4 have no cheese, as the staff made an equal number of each type of sandwich.

So, The chances of Mary getting a sandwich with cheese is 4/8 = 1/2.
