Question

Mrs.Marks has 3/4 pound of cheese to use making sandwiches.She uses about 1/32 pound of cheese on each sandwich.How many sandwiches can she make with the cheese she has?

Answer 1

Hello! First, we need to find a common denominator. Let's use 32 because 4 goes into 32 eight times. Next, we need to multiply 8 on both the numerator and denominator of 3/4. The fraction is 24/32. Now, we need to divide 24/32 by 1/32. The answer is 24 because 1/32 goes into 24/32 twenty four times.
