Question

Jimmy johns made 27 sandwiches using 12 pounds of turkey. How much turkey was used per sandwich?

Answer 1

John has 12 pounds of turkey. he makes 27 sandwiches. assuming he uses an equal amount of turkey each sandwich, he uses 12/27 pounds of turkey per sandwich, as the 12 pounds are divided equally between the 27 sandwiches. this simplifies into 4/9

Answer 2

You would divide 27 by 12.

27 / 12 = 2.25

So, he used 2.25 pounds per sandwich.
