Question

Answer 1

182 sandwiches in total, 91 sandwiches divided by 7 is 13. Multiply 13 by all the other numbers and add. 

Answer 2

Answer:

They sold 182 sandwiches all together.

Step-by-step explanation:

We now that the sell ratio is 4:7:3, where 4 represents Adam, 7 represents Ming, and 3 represents Clinton.

An important characteristic of ratios is that they have a constant of change, which we can calculate using Ming's sandwiches sold and his ratio. If we divided these facts, we have:

$\frac{91}{7}=13$

This means that the constant of change is 13, now, if Ada and Clinton are in the same ration, the must also have the same constant of change, this means that we can multiply 13 in each case to get the total amount of sandwiches sold:

$4(13)+91+3(13)=52+91+39=182$

Therefore, they sold 182 sandwiches all together.
