Question

A 4-foot-long sandwich is cut into servings that are each 1/3 foot long. How many servings will there be after each sandwich is cut?

Answer 1

Total size of sandwich= L = 4ft
one serving = 1/3 of sandwich
So,
total no. of servings= 4/0.333 =12 

Answer 2

Given: A 4-foot-long sandwich is cut into servings that are each $\frac{1}{3}$ foot long.

We need to find the number of serving the 4 foot long sandwich will have if each serving is $\frac{1}{3}$ foot long. To find the number of servings we divide the 4 foot sandwich by $\frac{1}{3 }$ foot.

Number of serving the 4 foot long sandwich= 4 ÷$\frac{1}{3}$

When we divide we convert division sign to multiplication and the second fraction flips. 4 x $\frac{1 }{3}$ =12

There are 12 servings in a 4 foot long sandwich.
