There is 2 and 3/4 punds of roast beef and 1 and 7/8 pounds of turkey and 2 1/16 pounds of salami if you must put 1/4 of pound of meat on sandwiches how many whole sandwiches of each type can you make

Answer 1

2 and 3/4 punds of roast beef   2  3/4 =  (4x2) + 3 /4=  11/4 roast beef

1 and 7/8 pounds of turkey     1  7/8 =  15/8 turkey 

2 1/16 pounds of salami     2 1/16      33/16 salami

if you  put 1/4 of pound of meat 
then 11/4 roast beef   divided by 1/4 = 11/4 x4 = 11 sandwiches roast beef 

15/8 turkey divided  1/4 = 15/8   x 4 = 15/2  = 7 sandwishes

 33/16 salami divided  1/4  = 33/16 x 4 = 33/ 4 = 8 sandwiches
