Each guest will get $\frac{1}{2}\ pound$ of meat on their sandwich.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of guests = 15

Meat bought by Susie = $7\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}$ pounds

Therefore;

$15\ guests = \frac{15}{2}\ pounds$

For 1 guest, we will divide the pounds by number of guest

Quantity of meat 1 guest gets= $\frac{15}{2}\ divide \frac{15}{1}$

The fraction is reciprocated when division sign is changed into multiplication.

Quantity of meat 1 guest gets = $\frac{15}{2}*\frac{1}{15}$

Quantity of meat 1 guest gets = $\frac{1}{2}\ pound$

Each guest will get $\frac{1}{2}\ pound$ of meat on their sandwich.
