Each guest will get [tex]\frac{1}{2}\ pound[/tex] of meat on their sandwich.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Number of guests = 15
Meat bought by Susie = [tex]7\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}[/tex] pounds
Therefore;
[tex]15\ guests = \frac{15}{2}\ pounds[/tex]
For 1 guest, we will divide the pounds by number of guest
Quantity of meat 1 guest gets= [tex]\frac{15}{2}\ divide \frac{15}{1}[/tex]
The fraction is reciprocated when division sign is changed into multiplication.
Quantity of meat 1 guest gets = [tex]\frac{15}{2}*\frac{1}{15}[/tex]
Quantity of meat 1 guest gets = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\ pound[/tex]
Each guest will get [tex]\frac{1}{2}\ pound[/tex] of meat on their sandwich.
