Question

I have 4 sandwiches that each measure 12 inches long. If they were cut into 3 2/3 inches, how many sandwiches will you have?

Answer 1

Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

there are 4 sandwiches that each measures 12 inches

If they were cut into

$3\ \dfrac{2}{3}\ in.=\dfrac{3\times 3+2}{3}=\dfrac{11}{3}\ in.$

Now, it becomes

$\Rightarrow \text{No of sandwiches}=\dfrac{4\times 12}{\frac{11}{3}}=\dfrac{4\times 12\times 3}{11}=13.09\approx 13$

Now, there are 13 sandwiches
