Question

Mr. Edwards is making sandwiches. He had 4 pounds of cheese. He puts 1/8 pound of cheese in each sandwich. What is the total number of sandwiches Mr.Edwards made using all 4 pounds of cheese.

Answer 1

Quantity of cheese he had initially = 4 pounds.

Quantity of cheese used in one sandwich = 1/8 pounds

Now we have to find how many sandwiches are made in total out of 4 pounds of cheese.

Number of sandwiches = Total Quantity of cheese / Quantity of cheese in one sandwich

Number of sandwiches = 4 pounds / (1/8) pounds = 32

Answer: Total number of sandwiches that can be made out of 4 pounds of cheese is 32.

Answer 2

4:1/8=32
So he made 32 sandwiches
