Let's assume Ken arranged his sandwiches in a rectangular shape with length 'L' and width 'W'. Now Sarah arranged her sandwiches to form a border around Ken's rectangle. The solution diagram is attached below.

Ken needs as much sandwiches as area of rectangle i.e. number of Ken's sandwiches would be = LW.

It is clear that Sarah needs as much sandwiches as perimeter of rectangle and extra four sandwiches to put on corners. It means number of Sarah's sandwiches would be = 2·(L+W) + 4.

Given that all of the sandwiches are the same size and they are all used.

Ken and Sarah bought same number of sandwiches. So we need to solve the following equation :-

Number of Ken's sandwiches = Number of Sarah's sandwiches

LW = 2·(L+W) + 4

Using trial and error approach, we get 6 x 4 = 2 x (6 + 4) + 4.

So number of Ken's sandwiches would be LW = 6 x 4 = 24 sandwiches.

Hence, final answer is "Each person could have 24 sandwiches".

The bill from your plumber was 134. The cost of labor was 32 per hour. The cost of materials was 46. How many hours did the plum
ladessa [460]
2.75 hours.

The equation would be 32x + 46 = 134. So we subtract 46 from 134 and get 88. Now we have to divide that by 32 to get the total of 2.75 hours
