Cut each sandwich into pieces of thirds
4 sandwiches x 3 pieces = 12 total pieces
--------------------
12 / 6 = 2
Everybody would get 2 pieces
Okay so 18/45 = 2/5 in simplest form. hope this helped

Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of segments is used:
EF +FG = EG
3x +(5x +16) = 11x -2 . . . . substitute given expressions
8x +18 = 11x . . . . . . . . add 2
18 = 3x . . . . . . . . subtract 8x
6 = x . . . . . . divide by 3
The value of the variable is 6.

<em>Check</em>
The segment lengths are ...
EF = 3x = 3·6 = 18
FG = 5x+16 = 5·6 +16 = 46
EG = 11x -2 = 11·6 -2 = 64 = 18+46 . . . answer is correct
The answer is 28 for the volume
