Assuming that a cheese sandwich consists of 2 slices of bread and 3 slices of cheese, determine the number of whole cheese sandwiches that can be prepared from 28 slices of bread and 45 slices of cheese.
Accepted Solution
A:
If we are to consider the number of slices of bread first,
number of sandwiches = (28 slices of bread)(1 sandwich/ 2 slices of bread) number of sandwiches = 14 sandwiches
If we are to consider the number of slices of cheese
number of sandwiches = (45 slices of cheese)(1 sandwich / 3 slices of cheese) number of sandwiches = 15 sandwiches
Since, 14 is smaller than 15 then, 14 is the answer.
